I am at one with myself
I am a teacher
I am a listener
I am a pro-claimer
I want more
So much more
I want to follow
The path that leads me to it
I am standing on the high board
Not sure if I know how to swim
But I want to trust
That my soul knows the way
Fueled by my heritage
By generations
Of high fliers
Of risk takers
So hard to find kin these days
I now realize
That most of my life
I was lost- reaching for that something
That I could not explain
But I know it was there
Called a prodigy
Called mystical, spiritual
Called a freak
I knew I was different
Even weird
But its only because I was
And will always be me
A Folger, A Hale
From those two paths flow
Some seriously inquisitive folks
I wish I could absorb
The sound of the voices
Of my ancestors
As they tell me what they discovered
And how they found it
Time is so freakin short
I will not worry about the fact
That I will not accomplish even a portion
Of what I want to express
But I know
I live on
In my children and my grandchildren
This fact overwhelms me with joy and peace
So I will fly now
Higher and higher
Leaving behind those who once possessed me
I will forge the path
For those who are on my heels
Must keep them safe
Must inspire with hope
Give them a safe place to grow
Empower, Encourage
Yes, and A M E N
