When I Let Go

A guiding light to illuminate the way
I'll follow that light to seal my fate
The spirit of me to reawaken.

Yesterday I let go of what I am today
I hold the key to unlock the gate
To change the path I have taken.

Today I accomplish what I set out to do
With ambition I set out the program
There's always a choice you see.

Tomorrow I set out on paths anew
When I let go of what I am
And become what Imight be.

For Frank Herrera  Notable Quote contest
Quote by Lao Tzu
"When I let Go Of What I am, I Might Become What I Might Be."
