If I Were Free To Do As I Wish

deborah k Bates

If I were free to do as I wish
I would hold you and embrace you
your body against mine

I would feel your warmth and your pain
your sorrow and joy
I would take your face within my hands
And gently kiss your fears away
I would take your vulnerability
and place it in my heart.

If I were free to do as I wish
I would seize this moment and love you forever.

deborah k Bates

My passion is people and assisting them to create the life they want. I do this as an Author – Counsellor – Mentor.A professional writer I write to inspire through the encouragement of viewing life through metaphor, higher perspectives, introspection and the principles of nature.With a goal and purpose – to turn the mundane world upside down and into a magical journey – to negate the annihilating nature of self reproach or self loathing towards feeling whole as a person – to encourage one to dream beyond their wildest dreams to create the life they want to live – to transform mediocrity into magnificent – to find ecstasy and joviality despite the ups and downs.Discover more at http://www.deborahkbates.com Read my blog at http://www.deborahkbates.com/blog more…
