Life Is But a Poem

Weak, weak is but a word And reluctance is but another The vices of a caged mocking bird Strength of our fire they smother Release, release is but a goal And freedom is but another The dreams of a sheltered soul Persistence of a mind will conquer Rage, rage is but an emotion And anger is but another The wind above the wings of love And these will ground your soul Be awake and be alive Do not let the sorrows of life entangle Be a warrior with the virtues of a knight And the sparrows in your heart will flutter free
