Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Freedoms

how thankful
i am
for the blessings
in my life

the many freedoms
i often take
for granted

mostly
the freedom
to direct my life
as i choose

it bearing no price tag
and in the long run
realizing limitations
are self-imposed

Gershon Wolf October 27, 2018 at 9:16 PM So true, Line. We are the ones who limit ourselves. As someone---I think it was Walt Kelly, who created the comic strip "Pogo"---"We have met the enemy, and he is us!" :) gw Line Gauthier October 27, 2018 at 10:38 PM Isn't that the truth! Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Gershon.

Mystic Rose Rose October 27, 2018 at 7:43 PM Quite often they are just that, self imposed. We are the only ones who can remove the shackles from our lives. Well written Line, have a wonderful evening. Line Gauthier October 27, 2018 at 10:39 PM Thank you so much, Pixie, for your most appreciated visit and comment.
