Nihil Obstat Nothing is an Obstacle
From deep within my soul,
I summon mind and muscle to power
my legs, balancing my flight with arms
that, like wings propel my motion then steady it
so I can glide on the breeze as I choose,
surmounting any obstacle,
even leaping over the river
separating me from you.
Nothing is an obstacle
as long as sky holds dreams
that with perseverance,
strong legs, and stronger will
I can pursue
