I spread my arms and fall back
Revelling in the freedom
Not noticing the things I lack
Not wanting of a kingdom

This is my life and my day
Living it with relish
Living it in my own way
Nothing to embellish

I smile and laugh with pleasure
I cry if sadness dictates
I do not use others for measure
Life never hesitates

With a joyful unleashing of me
I will walk down the road
Expecting only the best, feeling free
No longer under that heavy load

Instead of YouTube...I sometimes find videos on GodTube that give me some encouragement. We all have our places to go...

The sun rises, you smile, you sigh
The purples and pinks mingle and brighten
And so your day begins as always
New lessons are there only to enlighten

Embracing the possibilities around you
Hopefulness and charity are born within
Love and miracles, they surround you
Awakening a different life you can begin

A gentle breeze swirls through your hair
It lifts your spirits with its ascent to sky
Breathing deeply, almost dancing on toes
You cast the past away and feel a need to fly

Bending under an exterior strain
Feeling my energy start to drain
No time to linger or explain
So much pressure around the brain
Fighting to break this negative chain
For another moment I try to retrain
Myself not to cry at your angry refrain
Just need to end the tyrannical reign
Raise myself onto another plane
And leave behind this emotional pain
