Let me breathe
While my trills are firm
Let me sail
This ocean is seldom calm
Let me travel
Whilst there's mystery to unravel
Let me smile
I won't have these teeth forever
Let me chew cartilage
Toothless they'll be a sacrilege
Let me Love
someday my soul a heart won't have
Let me walk these miles
this strength can't endure till the end
To forever never say never
Let me trust
Whilst I have a friend
Let me flow with the stream
While I still can venture
Let me dream
Youth is a debencher
Let me speak
while the world trusts my tongue
Let me write
This talent is only while I do and young
Let me rhyme
while I have the time
Let me fall
While I still can get up
Let Morpheus call
while I still can wake up

**Let me dance
And shake what'll be but carrion and bones
Let me sing
While I still enjoy these songs
Let me fly
While my hopes still touch the sky
Let me laugh
I know Life can be tough
Let me shout
In the rains, preceding drought
Let me touch
While I still can feel
Live the moments
To make memories none will steal
But mostly let me give glory
For God never tires of writing my story
For and inspired by my Sister and Ryan... her new born baby...my nephew.
