Your Song

Make the music for your life.

Do not abide

in the long shadows

of bold men

nor seek refuge

in the fading light

of the timid

forge with

bravado

into the headlining

lights of

free spirits

determined to make

their own

music of life

It takes an inner drive to forge out on your own. Many are happy to sit in the shadows and watch. I for one go back and forth. Well Done! Deborah

Jon, this says so much to this reader, we must tread in our own shoes and strive for what we want to reach our destinations in this life. We can "then" allow our spirit to soar and know it was our accomplishments and not someone else's. A great writing.
