Born To Live.

'' - - Let the ties of the heart loose
And shake down soft streams
Of your fine feathered dreamings.
Allow them to fly,
Take wing into life's pathway
Of unlimited
Space, where failure is not found
And moreover, fear
Will hardly appear again.

Choice is unbounded.
Do not die before living
Your dreams, - find your zeal
In life's hidden field where you
plant special love-seed.
Grow it into a large tree,
The fruits of which free
You to blossom again, and
When eaten help you live
Wisely, then your heart gives.
This is your birthright.'' - - -
