BORN FREE

Born to be free! Soaring so high!
Wings outstretched..sailing across clear, blue sky!
Sharp eyes searching! Now, zooming down,
Snatching, with sharp talons, that never touch ground!
Please let me always be...free and able to do,
And let me fly, as high as an eagle, too!
Give me greater courage, strength and hope!
Make me more able to choose and to cope!
Let me see, with keen, open eyes,
So I reach far beyond, for the worthwhile prize!
Not settle, for immediate and mundane,
Not faltering or giving cause for another's pain!
Let me respect GOD's natural gifts,
Let me promote, all that uplifts!
Make me honest, humble and always secure,
Doing my best, to remain decent and pure!
Give me a desire, that never relents,
For all, that is just, fair and makes good sense!
When I deviate, from the narrow, straight path,
I must face the TRUTH and the aftermath!
Give me wings, that can not ever fail,
In spite of obstacles, I'll go "full sail"!
Not for fortune, fame, selfishness or pride!
Because life's not a "free circus ride"!
I'll journey on, to my destination, so...
There'll be no regrets, when it's time to go!
Soaring high!! Flying free can be...
So rewarding! Yes! It's great to be FREE!
