you might wonder
what you’ll become
paralyzed by unknowns
and should-have-dones
you might look at your life
and think it’s too late
to love and dance
was not your fate
don’t let fear win
don’t wallow in doubt
beyond your door the world
invites you to come out
take a chance and do the leap
who knows what you’ll find
beauty and joy and light
are waiting for an open mind
yes, pain and loss will come
but so will wonder and bliss
so much in this life to touch and feel
don’t let your fears make you miss
that sunrise glowing golden
their lips upon your skin
the endless blue horizons
adventures that might’ve been
don’t hesitate and hide
don’t build a cage of fright
say yes to life
try living in the light
out there if you look
past the walls obscuring your view
you’ll see it clear as day
everything is waiting for you.
