A place where I can be free

I want a place someday

Where I can be free

Free to roam

Free to be myself

And to plant and grow for myself

And for anyone that might come by

I would love a place

Where I know I could make a positive difference in my community

While being able to go be by myself sometimes

When I need to be alone

And when I need some time to reflect

And to breathe

And to collect myself

I would love to be able 

To be that old person in their neighborhood

Who everyones knows

And all the little kids come over

To sneak cookies from 

Who knows the best secrets

And tells the best stories

And knows when it's time to rest

And when it's time to get things done

I would love to be able to build community around me

And feel the joy that can come from being connected with people in open and loving ways

Being able to accept what is

And accepting what isn't 

And I would love to dance

And to love

And to live fully

With each breathe

And be able to smile

And to cry

And even sometimes wonder about the state of the world

And where this crazy world we call home is going

All in the comfort of my doorstep

And be able to know that I was home

And that other people could call my home as well

If they needed a spot to sit for a bit

And just talk about their lives

And talk about their day

But most importantly I feel like

It would be nice to just be

And to be able to enjoy life

And spread that joy to others

Yeah I had a feeling it would have that personal significance to you as well. I know that I am the same in a lot of ways and I enjoy being able to give that joy to others and being able to build a strong family with my friends as well.
