My Love Must Be as Free
Henry David Thoreau
My love must be as freeÂ
   As is the eagle’s wing,Â
Hovering o’er land and seaÂ
   And everythingÂI must not dim my eyeÂ
   In thy saloon,Â
I must not leave my skyÂ
   And nightly moonÂBe not the fowler’s netÂ
   Which stays my flight,Â
And craftily is setÂ
   T’ allure the sightBut be the favoring galeÂ
   That bears me on,Â
And still doth fill my sailÂ
   When thou art goneÂI cannot leave my skyÂ
   For thy caprice,Â
True love would soar as highÂ
   As heaven isÂThe eagle would not brookÂ
   Her mate thus won,Â
Who trained his eye to lookÂ
   Beneath the sun

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
