Thoughts from a kite



A man walks this Earth like he travels his dreams, alone. Like walking a tight rope at night over a circus ring.
 Balancing his way through life like a kite in flight held up by the wind. I stay on high to see far and wide whatever the Heaven's my lend.
 And if you think a kite can never wander away or get losed? Like around the beaches and parks or wherever broken kites get tossed.
 Because it you're not anchored or held on course by a string? There's no telling what heavy waters or storms may surely bring.
 The waters of life can weigh you down and keep you on the ground. The waters of life can last through the night, lost without a flight.
So learn to swim and jump on in and show the world you're here to fight. It happens every windy day that day soon turns to night.
 If you don't watch where you're going or hold the reigns tight? Life can get away from you and ultimately lose it's sight.
 So put your new boxing gloves on its going to be a life long fight.
 Thoughts from a kite
