Ode To Freedom
Awakening today to a newly retired life,
I'm more attuned to the world around me,
Grateful our freedoms mean little everyday strife,
Unlike hapless people across the sea.
Let's appreciate this weekend,
Others' sacrifices for this blessed land,
Not let political squabbles our unity rend,
Instead offer each other a helping hand.
