On the Road To the Sky

Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
If you’re giving up
Then tell me, who’s to blame

The road’s ahead 
Time is now
Make that change
You’ve been dreaming of

Open up your heart doors
And set your soul free
Feel the inspiration
The sunshine and breeze

Whatever it takes
However, life goes
Give it all the love inside of you
Believe you’ll achieve your goals

And if you have to rise to meet your destiny
Then take to the Sky
Fly up high…
High, High, High

Thank you Andrea...I'm really unsure at times what style of writing I've developed...but whatever it is...it's closer to Lyrical.

Yes, take to the sky. Here on earth, up is a good place to go but we always have to come down unless we have a reservation up in Heaven. I enjoyed your comment on my work. Very thoughtful. Sara

There is no saying what we can accomplish if we open the doors to our heart and fly. It takes a brave soul to try it, an even braver one to believe, in miracles on earth. Well written Arturo. Have a special evening, may the angels hover near you :)

Yes, but not necessarily brave, but faithful...but I would also say it takes a really sad fool to wallow in the mud of life until death...So sooner or later you must go with the heart...A big hug for you.
