No Opologies

I make no apologies I am natures child Risen from the dust Only to return when I die I make no apologies That I sauntered when you tried But I lauded the accomplishments you derived I make no apologies That from the spring of my youth I have grown old, learning the truth I make no apologies Though tears I cry Of a fading love about to die I rode your waves,I explored your oceans But I was sunk with loveless emotions I make no apologies For taking flight Leaving the darkness Seeking the light I make no apologies For the colour of my skin My big brown eyes, my stubbled chin So formed and blessed with African ways Glowing brighter on sunny days.

Beautiful write Robert! To live life with no regrets as to who you are and the actions you take is what many aspire to. You've brought out the theme very well and the lesson is clear - live your life. You are who you are. Very well penned!
