A Free Bird Rising

I remember you Like a free bird rising on golden wings Glowing with the radiance of youth Not yet ready for womanhood But taking the leap anyway As if you knew what lay ahead And couldn't wait to go I remember You Blossoming all at once like Springtime Tossing your hair over one shoulder Defiant as love against the odds Even now these many years later after college and Vet Nam After marriage and fatherhood After all my pride and prejudice MY agonies and ecstasy's I remember you
