'A Life Without Limits'

{On the 20th Anniversary (1987-2007) of the TV series Beauty & the Beast}



“You deserve a life without limits,” he said.

And, somehow, we knew that really was true.

Maybe no one ever told us that before -

At least, not in the clarity of exactly those words.

But, this time, for some happy reason, we believed it.



And at that moment, glimpsed a little bit of heaven,

In an otherwise Beastly world.

So we pressed forward - just a step-

And then another - and another-

Always following their Light.



“There is no life without limits,” she said.

But, somehow, we know that’s really not true.

For we have tested the limits of our own lives -

Until we can look back from the summit of 20 years,

And see the Beauty that has been created.
