Free to Live
Choice is not a gift
To be bought with money or kindness;
It does not seek you out
It neither instructs nor
Condemns rather it is
A destination;
A place that is
Open to all
Without passport or fare.
Still few have found it.
The secret to admission is
Within your reach—
Set aside your fears
Trust your inner voice
Unshackle your mind
Believe in what you can be
Love the good that you can do
Accept your limitations
And follow your star.
In incremental steps
Distractions will fall
Doors will open
Until you reach the
Final barrier.
Then…
Summon the courage
To reach your place
Among the stars
With the free—
Know you cannot be held back
Know there is no turning back
Know you are free to live
Only when you are
Free to choose;
And you are free to choose
Only when you have
Nothing left to lose.
