Arms Wide Open

"Lots of thoughts in my head today, Of those who are special and far away I am careful not to think to deep, And wonder; which will affect my sleep Better to keep it light, For that is right So what’s this motion, Your arms wide open Are we measuring the width of a door, Or an exercise to strengthen our core? Is it to signal how much to back up, Or a playful “airplane” strut To bring a smile on a little one, While in a park having fun Is it the beginning of a ballerina twirl, Or the pose holding a flag unfurled I think it’s a sign of acceptance and trust, One has confidence, a must To let life be, Beyond what you see Unselfishly, And deservingly For a heart needs to be free to chose, Without the fear to lose What you want to hold so closely, Better with your arms open you see A basket over a light, Is not right So to the beauty, Should shine through Of those you hold so dear, For me it is perfectly clear"
