Have you wondered how tomorrow looks When you've lied about today ? Have you squandered opportunities When you've refused to play ? Have you sought the possibilities ? Have you broken through the ruse ? Have you shed your limitations And tried to fill some bigger shoes ? Will you spread your wings to fly Across the chasm in your life ? Have you shared your closest fears With the one you call your wife ? Do you long to break the mold And try to start the day afresh ? Is there courage there to stride out, Have you the will to make it mesh ? Is there a shade of self deception, Is a colour bar installed ? Are there feelings of inadequacy Has your darling not yet called ? Does your flacid nature falter When pinned against the wall ? Have you moments of reluctance To recall it all, at all ? Does it all really matter That your world is locked within, That the things which hold you back Are simply things you revel in ? That the greatest limitations Are the ones you self impose, That the key which locks the door Is locked outside the door you close ? Marshalg reflecting@theBach Mangere Bridge 28 July 2009

Limitations
Have you wondered how tomorrow looks When you've lied about today ? Have you squandered opportunities When you've refused to play ? Have you sought the possibilities ? Have you broken through the ruse ? Have you shed your limitations And tried to fill some bigger shoes ? Will you spread your wings to fly Across the chasm in your life ? Have you shared your closest fears With the one you call your wife ? Do you long to break the mold And try to start the day afresh ? Is there courage there to stride out, Have you the will to make it mesh ? Is there a shade of self deception, Is a colour bar installed ? Are there feelings of inadequacy Has your darling not yet called ? Does your flacid nature falter When pinned against the wall ? Have you moments of reluctance To recall it all, at all ? Does it all really matter That your world is locked within, That the things which hold you back Are simply things you revel in ? That the greatest limitations Are the ones you self impose, That the key which locks the door Is locked outside the door you close ? Marshalg reflecting@theBach Mangere Bridge 28 July 2009
