Reflection Testing the Limits Together
Boundary Without Limit
The boundaries are getting wider,
Today I shout "Don't go past the neighbor’s house!"
In the distance I see a little boy, he goes to the edge and takes one more step.
The bricked walls of limit stifle our vision and seal us off from the day.
Someday the boundaries I set will become non-existent and his limitations,
My prayer is that he will always throw off doubt and that his achievements,
Walls are built to separate and their bricks mortared in fear.
If I could only but teach him how to stack the stones and keep my own fear from sealing him in,
while I used to chase after every uncertain step.
Tomorrow's boundary is the end of our street.
Perhaps, he is not over-stepping his bounds only testing Limitation.
Loosely-stacked stone boundaries let through the clearness of air amidst warm, bright rays.
I hope, will become a horizon that a proud father cannot glimpse or conceive.
that they will never be hindered by self-imposed limits; walls of the worst kind!
Boundaries are low altars of stone that honor the distant frontier.
perhaps his courage will unbound me as we test the limits together.
