A Salute To Freedom and Friends
I dream........
Of my joyful friends and I,
Jaunting under huge umbrellas.
Laughing and going out for a pizza and chianti.
The conversations bubbling as
fresh espresso in a coffee brewer
~~~
We spoke freely on anything!
There was no such thing as
A politically correct nose-ring!
~~~
We, all of different colors and
religions.
Shared philosophy and ideas.
And of lovers and our close friends.
Lord, I miss those nights of such
gallant and loving freedom!
Now in my heart and memory,
most eternally, they safely abide.
Those special nights, beneath
Chicago's star-studded skies.
Even politically, we were not of
one party.
Lively discussions always, but with
respect and dignity.
Isn't that how America should be?
~~~
We spoke freely on anything!
There was no such thing as a
Politically correct nose-ring,
~~~
Dedicated to Pete~ thanks for decades of friendship!
