I MISS

I miss my mother and father I miss walking fast And driving a car on freeways And city streets I miss housecleaning Well no, not really And I miss going on trips And shopping in stores I miss my husband’s arms around me And his tender kiss I miss my cat And not taking pills I miss my brothers, My sister and too many friends I miss Obama and government sanity I miss having energy And going to work Mostly I miss my freedom To come and go as I please Sad that it won’t be coming back Not in this lifetime
