Soon, when my unborn daughters and sons
Shall learn to stand among the living,
Chasing dreams and desires at dawn and dusk,
Doubts and faith cautiously sieving;
When they shall take their first steps among peers
With pride and revered poise as ocean tides,
May breath fail me not to teach them one salient truth I
know:
No fear, no fear, having no fear at all – this is freedom.
