Free

I know we all want to be free, think we are free....here i wrote what it is for me.

FREE...
from carrying the weight of my own life
from taking myself too seriously and
frantically trying to manage my image
(which we cannot EVER do anyway...)
Freedom from others' expectations pressing us
into their little molds.
instead, we turn our attention to You
who won our freedom at
very great expense, who
calls us to
"march to the beat of but one Drummer"
and to find joy there,
to find peace in having this singular focus
and the simple life that goes with it.
Teach us restraint to not overcomplicate
our lives by running after every trend,
activity and bit of hype that others
wave at us.
you alone suffice
and we can sing
in the shadow of your wings.
