Nothing is Free....
except
the gentle breeze
whispering in yonder trees,
the soft salty kiss
of the ocean breeze,
the nightengale's song
in yonder dale,
the green swaying grasses
on the nearby hills,
the misty morning veil,
the spirit of the chickadee,
the song of the sparrow,
the blue sky we see,
a walk in the woods
on a cool night.
Nothing is free,
except,
the accidental touch
of two lovers knees
as they sit arm-in-arm
entwined, as do branches
under closely planted trees,
as they gaze at the moon
in the full bloom of June.
No, nothing is free,
except for things I want most
from this life.
But what price would I pay,
if I had to today?
I cannot honestly say,
since all I want
seems to be
free.

You know Kacy I consider myself a very weathly woman as I have and enjoy all of those things (except the knee bit there), and soon you will too, and that makes me very happy too.

How true…she who is happiest with the simple things in life…is rich indeed.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

To experience or have all of this is the
greatest gift one can be given....

Thank you Kacy, an awesome piece of poetic
imagery...
