Envy

Often have I envied the vagabond 
The wandering free of liberty 
Responsibilities forgotten 
Afoot upon the open road 
Singing for supper 
Dalliance for a bed 
Following the wayward 
Leading the way 
Unbound untied 
Stopping to replenish 
But always is 
The Road 
Whilst I do sit and strive 
To support and raise 
A family of wishers 
Who look down roads 
As yet do I 
Often have I envied the vagabond 
As does he 
Me
