You Amaze me

You never stay down
for too long
not anymore...
You paid the price
well in advance.

Whenever you reach
a closed door,
you find a window -
where your soul can fly...
Your motto is:
Live free or die.

You soar above the beings
of this world, 
my friend.
Your gentle spirit lifts you
way up high.

You understand the things
most of us
never will...
And I must say,
I just must say
that
you amaze me.
