Mike Gentile Poet Free verse

Now I'M Free

Now I’m free to stay out all day, no schedule to follow
No need to stop home before going to the gym

Now I’m free from walks in the cold and rain at all hours
Now I’m free from cleaning up wet floors

Now I’m free to go on holiday without pause or concern
No extra planning needed

Now I’m free to stay an extra hour at dinner with friends
No need to be home

Now I’m free

Oh, what I wouldn’t do to be able to give back that freedom,
To see my little Hudson once again and not be free
to do all kinds of things because I need to be home with him.

Written in honor and memory of my Golden Retriever, Hudson
