Freedom I have stood beside the highway- When the snow was coming down. I've observed the bloom of springtime, And the autumn's cloak of brown. I have seen the great Pacific, And the Gulf of Mexico... I have crossed the burning desert, Rode the range in driving snow. I have lived out of a suitcase- With a bedroll on the ground- I have hit the road a lot of times Not knowing where I'm bound. I've lived a life men dream of- But mine was real you see? But every breath I've ever drawn, I state with pride, was free. Freedom is a state of mind- It is nothing left to give... As long as circumstances rule- You'll never truly live. |

Oh how wonderfully put. Sounds like it's been a great journey. Lovely to read about it this morning If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Your poems are always so satisfying and with a special flow all their own. Another good one! Betty Lou Hebert |
