Not Ensnared

Trapped within my inability to let go Will I reach my goal and will I know I relentlessly pursue my own happiness Or will I end up in hapless duress I will not let myself think of failure In this way I will know how to feel sure Also try only to think of the positives And I always want to be a man that gives I think I have wriggled free of my bonds Some think that I am partial to blonds Really I like all shades of hair Just looking for someone to be there Never stop looking for your soul mate We all just need the patience to wait If you truly believe you will find yours Even if you have to get down on all fours No more snares or bonds to hold me I broke them all and got free The chains that held me are broken And now I can be outspoken Now that I am not ensnared Everything I do can be shared You can read me like a book Just turn the page and look

Couldn't agree with your concepts more, John. In fact, this is very much like a poem I wrote called "Hope for Soul Mate Searchers." And there many folks who need to be reminded that it takes time to find the right person; patience is required. Very nice commentary in this write and I hope it provides the much-needed inspiration for people who are searching. Love, Carolyn
