Freedom

I always had the UNIVERSE,
But the yard was it until I went to school.
A two block radius
That grew as I got older.
Jr. High increased the area to
Include Mission Valley
And to the Park,
The beaches,
The Island.
City and County.

Father died in '62.

Life and Love
Started to predominate my thoughts.
Seven more years and the World
Became accessible.
And the Universe
IS STILL HERE.
