This Time Around

This time around won't be like the rest I'm gonna take my time and do what's best Reach for the stars and touch the sky Soar with the wind in my wings and fly This time around won't be touch and go Cause I know what I like and like what I know I am smart and I'm strong and I know my worth And will stand out and be counted on this earth This time around will be up instead of down No long twisty turns or slow sinking ground Cause this lost person has now been found and I refuse to remain captive and be bound This time around I'm gonna make it through Gonna do all the things I know I should do Fight a good fight all the way to the end Go for what I know and on myself depend

A pleasure to sit and read poetry this morning. We are getting snow from the Hurricane and the cold northern air coming down from Canada here is Piqua, Ohio this morning. I am glad your excellent poem was one that I came across to read. I hope you are having a good day and if you are in the mist of this weather that you are safe and remain safe Gwen. Love, Carol
