Beyond the Limits #Poem #FictionMonday

Aren’t we all blessed to be alive,
To realize we can be anything,
Read any book,
Dance to any tune,
Dream without limits,
Aspire to whatever our hearts desire,
Change the world, even just a little?

There’s no boundary—
Except, the ifs and buts
We impose on ourselves.

Aren’t we blessed to breathe,
To hold within us the power
To change the circumstances
That challenge us?

To see the ifs and buts,
To face them head-on,
And still find a way forward—
Becoming who we truly wish to be.

Yes, we are blessed.
