the life you want
and I will listen
to what you say
as long as you
dont curb my freedom
to be what I want to be
if thats all right with you
then we can continue to get along
resuming where we left off
before you became angry
over what someone else did
how they acted
that is not me
I can only control myself
I cant control anyone else
they dont speak for me
I dont speak for them
we dont walk through this world alone
you dont
I dont
but I am not in chains
I can do what I want to do
all you have to do is ask politely
I dont get angry at you
I dont tell you what you should
or should not do
if I like what you say
I will respond
that is what I call
being a free spirit
I love who I want to love
because I like what they say
they are nice
I always withhold my love
from those who try to use force
I give my love in freedom
I accept your apology
for getting angry
we all get angry
but nothing good can happen
when people are too angry
thats all I am trying to say
gerry

I love your poem 'free spirit'. It's all we can ask for yourselves and others.
Great poem. Have a nice Easter weekend.
Live and let live!
