Wild and Free

  
     O, to grow up wild and free
       to roam the meadows and fields

     Down by the river what sights to see
       O, to grow up wild and free

Yes! Too many dangers, perhaps we can get back to nature. I still think of poor Laken Riley in our neck of the woods. My daughter and other family attended there. My daughter was a runner too. Perhaps one day our kids can run wild and free.

every child's dream....grateful I grew up in a time when children could safely run wild and free. Doing so built confidence and creativity. Your words were uplifting. Thank you.
