Kate...my poem to thrill you...let go, let go, let go...
Life is a garment that you wear And then take off without a tear Moving on to what is new And placing your trust in what is true.
Now the same may be said for moving through each day Doing your best to find the right way Remember to stretch your wings to fly on high Where love rules the heavens and joy meets the sky.
Take on what you will becoming just who you are Make changes that are suited to living inside a star And be there for each other no matter come what may For there is your connection to inspire you each day.
Walk now with your steps as an actor plays their part Forget about everything but what comes from the heart Use this moment to set yourself back on course And glide through with certainty the greatest central force.
You are that which you are seeking. Know this. Feel this. Become this.
