DON'T FENCE ME IN  Don’t try to tie me down Bind me with a relation that is not meant to be For I am like a bird that loves to be free A hawk that wants to spread wings And not be held back with earthly things I am like a fish that lives in fresh water Please don’t hook me with bait I would prefer to swim at my own will Please do not say for me you will forever wait! I am like the wind that runs across the fields Touching lives with my presence Spreading the fragrance of love Please do not try to put a barrier Between freedom and me Or else I become a storm Devastating for both you and me! © Arti Honrao http://www.artihonrao.blogspot.com/ CHOICES You can spend your days on earth With hope and happiness Or you can give up on life altogether And be angry and bitter. You can greet each morning With a genuine smile Or you can wake up each day With a deep sigh of sorrow You can live your life Where you can cherish your time Or you can stutter around Bickering, groaning and crying. You can plan your life Strive for goals And live it day by day Or you can fret about tomorrow As you throw your life away. You can make a difference in your years If you give of your time and efforts freely Or you can go through life Saying that you are “too busy” And thus choose to remain Selfish and greedy You can try new things in life Take on some risks and in the end You will engage your mind. Or you can become lazy, Unhappy and narrow-minded And in the process fall behind. Shannon Dimock December 31st 2004
