This poem I wrote goes with it

E-man-cipation of my soul

Put me in pen with a bull and he will over-power me
Put me in cage with a lion and he will devour me
Put me in open water with no ground below and the shark will shred me to pieces.....

But...

Lift the gates of the cages
Fill the water with a meadow
And watch me break loose with graceful abandonment

When the light turns green and the gate flies open, I am free
In the game of creativity, I will run circles around you
Where imagination is the only barrier, I will dominate you.
My mind is sharp and my vision is perfect
My senses are keen and my body is strong

I can see anything and everything
I can go anywhere
I see grass grow where it shouldn..t grow
I see colors flow in a world of black and white

Life is an open arena, where this is no cage, there are no fences.
The bull is let loose and his power is useless. I run circles around him
The lion is let loose and he gets lazy and lays down
The shark...well he is just a fish out of water and surely dies.

I climb mountains and run through the valleys
You see me play and laugh
But no matter where I go
I will come back to you
Always...

And when you see me
You will see the dance in my step
The play fullness in my stride
And the innocence in my eyes
I will say to you "What's the matter?"
"Don't be sad"

With the flip of my head, I look to you
"Climb on my back and I will take you for a ride".
