This poem is yet unfinished...but perhaps that is what its meant to be...endless, boundless.

May I be steady as the sun
despite all doubts, all fears of the world
the sun is constant, promising to
awake us in the morning and
wish us sweet dreams through the night.

May I be wise as the owl
always replenishing a constant thirst
for knowledge
abd may I, like he, always be curious
about life and its wonders

May I be swift as the cougar
sprinting through the nature wild
never looking back, trusting his instincts
in defense to defeat the obstables that lie
ahead, and in confidence in reaching
the glory of his goal

May I be free as the bird
soaring through the open sky
bound to no limits
setting its own course
letting her wings take her
to wherever she so desires...

~*Yesterday is gone, let go of the past; tommorrow will bring new hope to grasp*~

  I really don't know what to say. This was....I don't even know. Well I could say it's good. I could say it's well written, I could say it flowed perfectly. But I won't. I'll just say that I fell in love with this.

Good
Well Written
Flowed perfectly.......

see i say it even though child of the stars won't....what a lazy butt hehe.
ANyway I agree with her though, this poem is so wonderful it'd be hard to explain with words. I like how you expressed every stanza into it's own little desire of yours. Great poem!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

Thank you for for your comments!  Yes, this poem is hard to explain in words.  Its message is more understood by the soul, not by words.  I feel that, for human beings to co-exist harmoniously, intertwined with the world, we must love, respect, and learn from our fellow animals.  We all share one special,common bond: we were all given a wonderful gift...the gift of life.

Ditto to the others, this is fantastic.  I'm amazed, I really love it.

this is really good...please tell me when you decide to finish it..i'd love to read it all over again.  my suggestion to end this is something like this:

"may i be my true self
without all the lies and masks
etc etc etc..."

you know what i mean.....it's always better to be yourself    thanks for the read

I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR
