My Love Must Be as Free
Henry David Thoreau
My love must be as free
As is the eagle’s wing,
Hovering o’er land and sea
And everythingI must not dim my eye
In thy saloon,
I must not leave my sky
And nightly moonBe not the fowler’s net
Which stays my flight,
And craftily is set
T’ allure the sightBut be the favoring gale
That bears me on,
And still doth fill my sail
When thou art goneI cannot leave my sky
For thy caprice,
True love would soar as high
As heaven isThe eagle would not brook
Her mate thus won,
Who trained his eye to look
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).
