I often think of this saying <br />I read on a license plate <br />Often wondered about it <br />It struck me a certain way <br />As a child <br />Never knew why <br /> <br />Maybe it was that trip to New Hampshire <br />To the Laconia motorcycle race <br />Maybe it's history <br />It's Revolutionary tie <br />Maybe it's the spirit in me <br />A feeling I've swept under the rug <br />But cannot lately deny <br /> <br />Now at a turning point in life <br />Not sure where to turn <br />Something inside me <br />I feel it yearn <br />Convention I feel obliged to spurn <br />Don't care if I crash and burn <br />I feel unafraid to try and to learn <br /> <br />'Live Free or Die' <br />Think it means this to me... <br />To feel free to look up into the sky <br />To dream of something better <br />To freely search for your reason why <br />A spirit to take a stand, or to try <br />Suddenly, I wish to Live Free or Die<br /><br />JAMES T.
