Daddy's Womb MAG
i asked my father if i could swim,
and he said that i would drown.
The Sea would imprison me – he said
if my feet had left the ground.
So i walked out to the water,
and cried out – how ’bout now!
He said, a little bit further, Son,
and then you’ll leave the ground.
i stepped on sand then stone,
from hollow ground to sturdy.
The sky was at my level as I
gazed at the birdie.
The Sea brought me a new idea,
the urge to flee to the high.
i asked my Father if i could fly,
and he said, sure, Son – go try.
i jumped as high as i could.
Still, i landed on the ground.
i saw my Father pull on a chain,
then i knew that i was bound.

assault the skies-
they reach out,
as your arms grasp mindlessly
flailing about
the wondrous serpantine swirls
of a new, worldly route
these-
the musings of a wandering mind eternal, but paternal fate
one cannot appease,
to return another day
amidst far calmer seas
That pretty much sums up my thoughts on this one... it's amazing! Could you check out a few of my own? (Carl, or anyone else that sees this) Thanks!

For attractive lips,<br /> speak words of kindness.<br /> <br /> For lovely eyes,<br /> seek out the good in people.<br /> <br /> For a slim figure,<br /> share your food with the hungry.<br /> <br /> For beautiful hair,<br /> let a child run his fingers through it once a day.<br /> <br /> For poise,<br /> walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone...<br /> <br /> People, even more than things,<br /> have to be restored, renewed, revived,<br /> reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed ...<br /> <br /> Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a<br /> helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.<br /> <br /> As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.<br /> One for helping yourself, the other for helping others".
