my free spirit and i

there, watch once more as the sun shares its radiant heat

but here i am, my feet are planted in this bucket of concrete

watch, as everyone learns what is real

but here i am, im suprisingly content with standing still

watch them grow into their new lives

watch them step into their age with pride

but here i am, im here in my own time

with my careful eye leaving nothing behind

here i am breathing in each moment

taking in each memory because i own it

they tell me to fly, fly away

i say, why not live each day by day?

 im willing when life desires
but until then i will soar until its time to fly higher

i refuse to let life pass me by

instead, we will stand here awaiting life patiently, my free spirit and i
