Rescue me!

Aretha Franklin screams

Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
'Coz I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too

But if Aretha Franklin would stop and listen,

she would maybe hear and see

that being lonely is just another form of TO BE

being blue is just another color choice

that will give you the solitude to hear your own voice

so don't always look for 

the easy way out

If you can choose the long over the short

there should be no doubt.

Yes

it can be hard 

yes 

you will be challenged

and yes

you will have water over your head,

but you can still swim and hold you breath

no reason to fear death.

So next time you scream Rescue me!!

And someone tosses 

a life saving buoy
Swim away from it and shout

I choose  life A'HOY
