Everyone wants to have control of their life,
And if you have it, it feels like a high-five.
Power is what you can get,
But sometimes it turns out to be a threat.
Loosing it, so scary it sounds,
Belongs to you like beach and sand,
But in letting go, true strength is found,
Freedom to fly, unburdened, unbound.
In the garden of life, where destinies bloom,
Control can be both a curse and a boon,
Yet wisdom lies in a way of release,
In letting go and finding inner peace.
Try to embrace it, release the chain,
By acceptance, we find our gain.
But life’s river flows, wild and free,
And control disappears in the endless sea.
So let the river of life guide its course,
Navigate yourself with no remorse,
Embrace the uncertainty and flow,
In the grand sea where all stories go.
