let a man believe in his body <br />let a man live free <br />for his own gain <br />let him make scenes, changes, and mistakes <br />let a man be useful to himself <br /> <br />let him build forward beyond his place <br />brick by brick, day by day <br />give him tools to dig and probe for information, <br />higher understanding, higher knowledge, <br />a better sense of self <br />give them up, and let him work <br />let a man walk and dream <br />and feel the pulse of time throughout <br />feel the silver sunlight <br />feel the cold after the snow <br /> <br />let him see the root of good and evil <br />let him choose <br />let him count all his tender blessings <br />and appreciate their significance <br />let a man up off the ground <br />when the dark sides of life kick sand in his eyes <br />let a man grow and learn <br />when ignorance tries to take his mind <br />let him be strong when he needs it, <br />be amorous in all his actions, <br />be remembered for charisma and faith, <br />and the gold he gives away <br /> <br />let a man be peaceful <br />to not let panic shake him <br />let a man prosper and respect his earth <br />let a man out into the wind, <br />where he feels the breath of angels <br />let his path be shown, <br />and let him take his time <br />and let him see what he was made to do<br /><br />Scott Stevenson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-a-man-live-free/
