By Don Iannone
Steadfast in your unshakeable self-belief,
Don't deny yourself your place in the sun,
Let go of whatever holds you back,
Follow the voice that calls.
Guard rails are for those resisting
the bountiful rewards of risk,
Replace your fear with love,
Follow the voice that calls.
Step past the weak branches in your tree,
Grasp its trunk and climb to the top--
of the world where your dreams live,
Follow the voice that calls.
Race in the direction your heart shines,
High above the North Star beckons,
Stretch your wings and fly,
Follow the voice that calls.
love it, has lots of meaning for me. Thanks Don!

ReplyDelete"Replace your fear with love".
ReplyDeleteNice sentence, but, you know, an ended love can cause the worst of the fears.
