Kim James Poet Free verse

Of Love and Liberty

When you left, I never thought
That I would know
and thank you for these gifts.
But here today I see.
I see, I know, and love you more.
Your gifts of family and freedom,
Your gifts of love and liberty,
To have a home away from home,
To choose a path because it is before me
To see those sights we would have seen,
If only you were here with me.
But we both know that you
Are more here with me now
Than ever you were at the end.
So I thank you for your gifts
And together we will see
those sights we planned to see
And take those paths 
We see before us
In this life and that which 
Follows
