Unlock the gate

you guard your words
like they're atomic bombs
and your worst fears
might to come true

why isolate yourself
the world has so much to offer
dreams are worth fighting for

reach for the moon
instead of worrying
someone may steal your shoes

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/3/2025 4:40:00 PM this poem spoke to me, for it reminds me of my older brother, a man who still at 80 guards his words. He is who he is though, and I love him.
