Freedom

Contributed by Bizzy on Friday, 7th March 2003 @ 01:40:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



Today
I will do what I want to do!
I'll not feel guilty for saying "No" to you!
I may sit, read, or play any time
I choose;
The Great King Jesus has paid my dues.
I know what I do is a worthwhile work,
though some will say that my duties,
I shirk;
I don't need today your wise approval
for its God's test alone some day will prove all.
Its not selfish of me to think of myself,
to behave in a manner thats good for my health.
Some work is healthy for my self-respect
and good, clean fun brings no regret.
I refuse to live in your obligation,
falling always short of your expectaion.
What I do for you is a gift from me...
Just 'cause I love you, don't you see?
Can you let me do what I want to do?
Freedom now!... if you love me, too!
If you aren't ready,...
I'll love you still;
But I'm going anyway;...
its the Father's will.

G.F.R. Coykendall, May 23, 1989

Great we all have the right to have just a little freedom sometimes without others trying to tell us we shouldn't
