No
ghosts from the past with sordid history
No
skeletons in the closet or places to be
No
chip on my shoulder, no monkey on my back
No
muse in my head to blame for my lack
No
dues owed to the Ferryman, no tiger by the tail
No
need to pay the Piper, nothing beyond the Pale
No
fear of the Reaper, no angst t’wards Old Man Time
No
grief for anything that ever was mine
No
bad dreams to falter or things I want to forget
No
tears of dread to cry, there is no regret
No
niggling doubts to ponder or trivial questions “Why?”
No
unsettled dispute, no little white lie
No
pressing appointments or points to prove
No
soap-box to preach or stumbling block to move
No
chain to bind me, no lock without key
No
debt tying me down - I’m home free.
No
magic trick, no sleight of hand,
No
fancy foot-work, no shifting sand
No
ace up my sleeve or joker in the pack
No
magic wand or rabbit in a hat
No
spin of the dice, no four leaf clover
No
reason to look my shoulder over
No
rabbit’s foot, no lucky charm
No
hasty retreat from a rushing gendarme
No
other agenda, no facade on my face
No
rockets in my shoes to cheat in this race
Not
counting the blow but turning the cheek
Not
eager for fame but fervent for meek
No
fear of flying, no terror of heights
But
an awe of flame and a kin for lights
Facing
the challenges, no fear of fear
Living
my life as if my Saviour is near.
No
baggage to carry, no millstone round neck
No
run-away thoughts to be kept in check
No
prison to hold , no handcuffs on me
No
reason to stay - I’m home free.
