Free Mind Poem by Jocelyn Dunbar

This is the best time that I like,
To free my mind of all my worries,
I have the power to fly,
My imagination keeps me going,
I can do anything.

I am at the top of the mountain, shouting,
Laughing to the sky, dancing to the tune of the air.
I can see the beautiful world,
It is too big. I can't believe I'm here, I'm free.

I smell the scent of the flowers;
I hear the birds singing,
I can swim in the deepest sea, can you imagine
I embrace the world and see the people walking
Here and there busy in their lives.

How do I look if I belong to a
Group of insects or animals?
Strange, or I'm a mermaid swimming in
The ocean, Wow! I like it! an adventure.
I can see all kinds of fish and their beautiful colors,
Pretty amazing! yeah! Nice to swim.

Now, I'm flying; I can't control my body in the air
The pressure is very strong,
But I feel the clouds around me,
It's smooth. I feel that God is there,
He is there by spirit,
He is God who created the universe.
Amazing and powerful God!

In this moment of my days,
I know in my mind that God is watching me
All the time and I know I can compose myself
To any kind of battle in life.
I know he loves me; I will keep it in my heart.

I have confidence in my life today;
Believe that he holds me
And the gift that he has given me.
' Thank you so much for allowing me to live, God. '
