Freedom is a walk in the warmth of the sun,
a fridge well stocked and dinner that’s already done.
Freedom is some time with nothing to do
but have coffee or chai in the evening with you.
Freedom is the right to express my opinion
that’s tied to a duty to have respect for your feelings.
Freedom is the quiet that sings through the noise
and the happiness I feel when I hear your voice.
Freedom is the idea that we can both be different
and yet live together – a happy and peaceful family unit.
Freedom is a right that comes with a duty to listen.
To Acknowledge. And have regard for your opinion.
Freedom is a walk in the warmth of the sun,
a fridge well stocked and dinner that’s already done.
Freedom is an evening with nothing to do
but play the piano and wait for you.

I wrote Freedom 5 years ago around the time of our 20th wedding anniversary.

I thought I was subscribed to your blog but I see that WP has dropped you – I’ve resubscribed! I really love the way this one comes full circle!

Yes I too had to resubscribe to your blog a few days ago for the same reason!
Thanks so much – freedom is so important to me.
