SMALL LIFE

Small lives create small people
Small thought create small worlds
These worlds are cramped
For many occupy them
With little space to spread their wings
Of hope
Of joy
Of love

Spread your wings in the winds of life
Let them take you where you would not dare go
Any enjoy the ride
For the journey is everything
Not the destination

Too many look to the future
And miss the joy in front of their eyes
Too many look to the horizon
And miss the colours of nature
Emblazoned before them

Look now in your life
Where you are not being you
Where others voices overshadow your own
For your own voice is wonderful to the Universe
It is supposed to be there
Adding to the cacophony of sound
As the birds of the morning chorus
Singing together appear to be out of sync
Until that one glorious moment
Of pure togetherness

Make these moment longer
Stronger
Full of love, colour and light
For you are meant to be here at this time
Being you
Being love
Being alive

Do not let others tell you who you are
Only you know that
Listen to you
And know you are supported
Loved and safe

For only you can give up your power to another
Know this deal with this
Correct this
For this life will lead to others
If you let it

Walk a straight road
For no one can walk it for you
