I will cleave to my principles
Regardless of antecedent woes
I will rise and be invincible
I will not succumb to the throes
of an amoral machine or poor me
I needn’t grind an axe for blackguard wheels of past debris
to be less than I can be is not fait accompli
I will imbibe and scribe words of kindness, love, gratitude
I intend every warm word with the grandest latitude
If I elevate the fate, the mind of one
Inspire light, life, fun, I have won
Brandishing my Operatic Baritone
I horse around until my long bones groan
revolt against what ‘they’ wish me to be
I am what I am. I chose what I’ll be
I was mesmerised and inspired by these marvellous equine creatures, and amazed that one was horsing around and poked its tongue at me.
I am what I am for Singing Saturday. If you have a post about or inspired by music, link up below. 😀

You nailed the post with these lines – “I will imbibe and scribe words of kindness, love, gratitude
I intend every warm word with the grandest latitude
If I elevate the fate, the mind of one
Inspire light, life, fun, I have won”
Beautiful 🙂
