My Dance
You hold my hand so tight
You don’t want to let it go…
I’m trying to pull it over
So I can walk alone…
_____
I don’t know
What’s on your mind….
That you just can’t let go…
As I look at you…
There's fear inside of you…
_____
You played the music well
And the melody was just right
You taught me some steps of it
And dance it
Under the moonlight…
-------
I stretch my wings so wide
And keep my head up high
While foreseeing my future
And all my heart’s desire…
But…
“Ravenous for sovereignty
Trying to get some liberty”
Is all inside my mind…
--------
I wonder how I can manage
All what you’ve encouraged
I know all things encompasses
To live a life to its fullest…
--------
Now I’m dancing…
Dancing on my own…
Making some steps, but
Not as perfect as you owned…
--------
After 35 years… I’ve asked
Gaining some courage at last..
To freed me from the wrath…
From the wrath you gained from the past…
…. That you dreadfully wanted to last…
I love you mom.. For letting me go…
