It Feels Good

It Feels Good


It feels good to pay the rent

It feels good to pay the bills

It feels good to have some food

To eat ‘til I am filled.

Feels good to walk down streets

Breathe air, to greet the sun

No longer stuck inside

Desk-bound

“It” now feels fun.

It’s so good to leave behind

A life no longer true,

To walk by mission’s light,

The work I’m meant to do.

For a sure a price was paid,

Less cash to hold-in-hand.

But that loss was replaced

With Freedom!

Now I stand

As heart-light warms my face,

Hope-wind blows through my hair,

Remembering why integrity

Is the cloak I choose to wear
