You be you; I’ll be me.

a RIGHT to be free:
to love, to dance and sing—

    God has given me these.
    Don’t steal them, please.

a LIFE for living…
investing, giving—

    My brief TIME in the sun
    will soon be done.

You have these THREE, also
yet different, and good—

    Too much control
    Takes its toll.

What a challenge. My plea:
you be YOU, not ME.
