Embrace the Day

Embrace the day loosely don't cling
Let it flow, unhatched, free
As the river rushes or saunters
Ever rolling to the sea

With outstretched arms fly 'pon breezes
Swaying north, south, east, west
Ride the waves soaring the currents
Freedom wakes are the best

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, 
you cease forever to be able to do it."
Quoted and don't know author..
