To be Free

Walking down the street without reason,
What a treat!
To sip a cup of coffee, to laugh with friends, to hold a hand.

Do you know where you are going? With what purpose? Is it essential?

Limit your life experience, confine your existence to a 5k radius.

Tough days are past, more yet to come
When time has no meaning and you find yourself alone.

Think of your mothers, your children, your health. Think of those who now may rest.

And when you feel lost and hopeless… take a breath. If you can, you are winning.

‘Brog’

I choose life
When times are hard
I choose life
When the way is uncertain
I choose life
When doubts creep in
I choose life
When confronted with fear
I choose life

I choose life in the making
I choose you above anything
You helped me gain perspective
You helped me see it more clear
You helped me value what really matters
Even though you’re not yet here

I can’t wait to meet you soon
And hold you in my arms
With a smile that can’t be contained
You will bring light to both our hearts

We will begin a new family soon
But the love is already here
The love that both of us cherish
We will always protect it
And keep it within

Today I want to say thank you
For making me stronger than I ever thought I could be…
You’re a warrior with a brave heart
You’re my little ‘Brog’ that soon we will meet.
