Freed To Be Truly Free

Living around in this old world
so many trappings to keep us down
catches us by the throat so tight
representing what makes a big frown

Freedom for me is being alive
being contented with my lot
have thankful heart for the past
my life here as true born Scot

This life has been blessed to me
in so many ways to fully enjoy
despite the battles and the downs
rising up makes mind to fully employ

Being retired brings extra dimension
making this one free so totally full
each new day promises alternatives
from the daily normalities so ever cool

Spiritual life brings views eternal
God in Christ becomes so real
indwells one by His holy spirit
bringing peace marks His seal
