“I am free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.” (Theodore Roosevelt)… 🙂

I’m just a free spirit Open mind and heart is all I’ll ever be, Don’t need much money Being rich is not for me. I have a pocket full of dreams My fate, has yet to be told, As I sail from safe harbor While watching my destiny unfold. I am not in a “box” No social chains, you’ll see, As down the path least traveled Adventure waits for me. Not interested in a “image” Reality is my forte, I am who I am, that is all that I am Exploring life each and every day. Waking up to a world born free With creatures in their daily rush, Pursuing their own destinies Before sunset brings, the evening hush. The morning air smells clean and fresh As I awake, it always brings a smile, Can hear the sound of a distant train That will travel many a mile. Yes...just color me a free spirit For most social graces I do not fit it seems, No matter, as I choose happiness over ideology Guided by my heart, as I follow my dreams. ( Larry “Dutch” Woller, )
Hello Diary, Yes, in today’s world with all of life’s challenges, being free and following one’s dreams can be difficult, BUT “Victory is not always winning the battle, but rising every time you fall” (Napoleon Bonaparte)… have received a few bumps and bruises along the way, have had to adjust the sails from time to time, maybe shed a tear or two, but I know in order to find happiness I need to follow my dreams “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.” (Langston Hughes) … 🙂 Soooooooooo, In history’s past, on the path, I had a dream Of a world in harmony it did seem, Accepting one as to who they believe and are One’s life’s choices no one did bar. Free to climb a mountain, to touch a star Free to search the universe, where answers are, Free to venture through life, with open mind Another’s belief, it did not blind. Free to boldly walk the lands, both far and near To lives one’s life without suffering or fear, Not to be accepted by belief, gender or race, you see But by the love, understanding and knowledge of a spirit born free. Children could follow their own dream, you see Not to be denied by another’s ideology, To follow the destiny of their own choice Not to be hindered by another’s voice. I still have that dream, you know A dream that began a long time ago, A dream without end, each and every day Until the four winds, they all blow away. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)“The only thing that stands between you and your dream is the will to try and the belief that it is actually possible.” (Joel Brown).. 🙂 “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)… 🙂


Well, I had better close for now, dreams to follow and new adventures await me… may have some storms in the near future “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. (Author Unknown).. But I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂 Hope you are following your dreams, life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again… May the love that you give Always return to you, That family and friends are many And always remain true, May your mind only know peace No suffering or strife, May your heart only know love and happiness On your journey through life. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

You are absolutely right in your second poem. Far too often, we are all the innocent victims of “another’s ideology” and “another’s voice”. This is the reason that, as Rousseau says, “man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains”.
We should be left to make up our own minds about God, politics and indeed, any issue that is in the news. And as regards the individual, the way he or she lives their life is nothing to do with me.
