What would you do if you had nothing to fear,
Would you dare to express all the thoughts you hold dear,
Or try to do something after waiting for years.
What would you do without the promise of tomorrow,
Would you let yourself smile and live without sorrow,
Or love without measure, give and not borrow.
Take the life your parents gave you,
Live boldly with purpose and be loving too,
Replacing fear with living to grow and renew.
-original poem written August 2005
