Fly Free---
Why does your face show such sorrow?
Why does your eyes seem blocked with pain?
Can you not see hope for tomorrow-
In your world can you see no gain?

What can I do to help you know
the beauty in you I see?
What would it take for you to grow-
Do you know what you want to be?

Could you take a glance at your desires
and tell yourself they are real?
Could you attempt to put out the fire
That doesn't allow you to feel?

How could you begin to search your soul
and experience all of life-
What would it take to reach your goal
and dispose of the pain and strife?

Do you understand you have a choice
to become all God wants you to be?
On that path you will rejoice
In the Joy of  becoming free.

Find the courage to make the first move
To change your attitude of-
ask for God's help and you will prove
Your life does not have to be crude.

The first step is all that's needed
to change the path you travel,
You'll find the courage if it is heeded-
The past you will begin to unravel.

Be willing to go the extra mile
to get the job completed,
You will find a permanent smile-
Lessons won't have to be repeated.

So look within your heart and mind
and transform all negative things,
Remove limitations you may find
and learn to use your wings.
