Array ( [sid] => 130958 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To Be Free [time] => 2007-01-24 15:00:28 [hometext] => I wrote this poem for those who need freedom in themselves [bodytext] => Bogged down by life as you knew as a child,
This is not our life to be,
We need to be set free.
Deal with your memories, whether bad or mild,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.

Anger, hatred will only poison our hearts and minds,
This is not our life to be,
We need to be set free.
Forgiveness for yourself and others is a healing sign,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.

Revenge on another's life who wronged you will make you to be the hunted,
This is not our life to be,
We need to be set free.
Take this unholy strength and turn to God's power in word to be confronted,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.

Healing of your mind, heart and body can only bring true joy, love, and peace,
This is our life to be,
We need to be set free,
Live your life with kindness and hope, this is our responsibility in this lifetime to learn and to teach,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.

Bogged down by life as you knew as a child,
This is not our life to be,
We need to be set free.
Deal with your memories, whether bad or mild,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.

Anger, hatred will only poison our hearts and minds,
This is not our life to be,
We need to be set free.
Forgiveness for yourself and others is a healing sign,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.

Revenge on another's life who wronged you will make you to be the hunted,
This is not our life to be,

Take this unholy strength and turn to God's power in word to be confronted,

Healing of your mind, heart and body can only bring true joy, love, and peace,
This is our life to be,

Live your life with kindness and hope, this is our responsibility in this lifetime to learn and to teach,
This is our life to be,
We will be set free.
