I Will Be Free

I will be free
I will break the bonds that tie
And be my own man
And meet life on my own terms
I will let go
And be unfettered
And kick up my heels

I will look back
And wonder how things are
And pine for a moment
About the things I left behind
And worry that I can
No longer protect them
Nor embrace them

I shall return
And close the circle
With stories of adventure
And new horizons
And while I am with you
I shall gather in
All the things we
Said and did
I shall love you
once again
for the first time...

It may be as close to eternity
As I shall ever come.
