To Be Free

To Be Free

 

O what I would give,

To totally live…

Live beyond my given limitations

And succeed my dreams’ duration.

O how great it would be

To be free.

With a blue sky above me,

And solid ground beneath my feet.

I’d soar high

As my hopes rise.

Everything would fall into place.

O how much I could see,

To be free.

Time breathes a heavy sigh

As I tag along for the ride.

Glimpses of light cascade

As if showing the way.

Moments in time

Give me reason to be alive.

A smile, a laugh escapes my lips.

Is it because of him?

O what a thought sweet…

To be free.

My heart longs

For a special song.

To fly high,

To feel the rise.

I’m realizing that as long as I dream…

I’ll know what it means

To be free.

We all have our hopes to be free and such. Ultimately, we choose our own adventures.

I had seizures for 10 years. Passed out in many places then just jerked around, smells of perfume or other things would set me off. People stared, friends became few. I turned to Jesus. Life anyway or shape is worth living. Valentine

Yes, you're right.

While reading the poem, I was actually thinking what it would be like if I was free, what all I could do....

"With a blue sky above me,
And solid ground beneath my feet.
I’d soar high
As my hopes rise."

these lines bring such a positive vibe to me! :D
I loved it! Full of hope and calmness :)

Keep writing :D
