You Are Free

You are free to do
the things you want to do
for no one else controls your mind
but you
your mind can travel any distance
so
let it fly to where you’d like to go,
enjoy the sights and sounds and smells
and when
you’re ready
bring your mind back home again.
When others words are thoughtless
and unkind
remember
only you control your mind
and can decide to let the words cut deep,
to shrug to smile, to laugh – why should you weep?
You have the Power, the Power of the Mind
Remember this, my dears and you will find
you’re free to do the things you want to do
For no one else controls your mind – but you.
