The sun is shinning so bright and hot <br /> The breeze talking in whisper, <br /> heart-shaped clouds move slow in the sky <br /> where's all my troubles? <br /> Why the breeze whispered them goodbye. <br /> <br /> My heart feels as light as the eagle's feather <br /> Wings untied and free, <br />I'm rolling with the flow - in and out like the tide <br /> Behind a facade - i don't need to hide. <br /> <br /> Finally i am happy to be me, <br /> Spots, warts and all - <br /> for everyone to see- <br /> <br /> Trying to please everyone <br /> was not the way to live. <br /> Only pleasing yourself, <br /> by doing your best that you can, <br />is all anyone can ask you to give. <br /> <br />31/10/05<br /><br />Liz Munro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-anyone-can-ask-you-to-give-only-giving-your/
