A Poet Cherishes Her Freedom


       
                

                   ~A Poet Cherishes Her Freedom~



People jogging, laughing riding gleaming bicycles.
Some serenely picnicking by the lake on thick, green grass.
Parking lots full of happy people in stores, 
Mothers Day looked more like the Fourth of July!
I was so very blessed to see this, I plain wanted to cry.
Instead,with joy I cheered, and with glee and relief, sighed!

Nobody at my daughter's was behind their couch, with masks in hiding.
Children outside on their beloved sidewalks, with tricycles riding.
We all said grace and ate in our normal, familial spaces.
With faith in God first, before obnoxious social disancing graces!

The major hospital parking lot, I never saw it so empty.
As my part of California, is the land of His graces, aplenty.
Plenty of freedom here, we are no longer living in media lies and exaggerated fear.
As we do hold the rights in our Constitution, far more dear!

People are river rafting in the Sacramento River.
It gives freedom crushers a very cold shiver!
However, our Governor is unhappy with our lowering death rate.
His goal is that we live in constant fear, so only he can control our fate?
(Not going to happen, mate!)

I guess he does not know American History well? 
He thinks he is a school principal and we run whenever he rings his unconstitutional bell.
Get a grip, Governor Newsom....dearest! 
For you see, we hold our freedoms, forever first and nearest!

Gina! Doing my best to keep the faith and not drown in strong undertows of living like a serf! Not one of us is! Far too many have eaten the' fear will save us' or their far from good-hearted masters. Appreciate your comment. More are dead know thanks to suicides, alcohol and drug abuse. We cannot eat unless we earn money. The small business people taking a horrid financial hit. Pray! Panagiota xoxo

Normality and freedom, our great leaders still haven't a clue and are still muddling along. Tom

Saw a few news programs outright lying today. But, guess anything for a dollar? Leaders are lost. Even if they do good, then, especially are they wronged. We will make it through if do our own research and turn off news. Panagiota xoxo
