True independence can be found,
Within the soul, and heart and mind,
When morals tend to stand their ground,
Not with another's thoughts combined.

True independence means control,
Of what we find surrounds our life,
Deciding what is real and whole,
Finding solutions to our strife.

True independence comes with age
And knowing what our limits are,
The passing years help make us sage,
Not reaching for a falling star,

But realizing what is there
To help us to achieve alone,
And taking time to learn and care,
Though capable all on our own.

True independence flies the banner,
Within our hearts, does not need feeding,
We make decisions in a manner,
That helps us with our own succeeding.

True independence in its' turn,
Allows for others, though is whole,
It helps us to succeed and learn,
And will sustain the seeker's soul.
