Flying Off to Freedom
Go somewhere distant and start anew
New home, new job - new life to live
Only our dreams to ponder and pursue
To be free of our daily grind and routine
Can become a powerful temptation
We can fantasize a carefree life
Without the chains of commitment and obligation
Think again about that carefree life
That fantasy existence that you envision
Imagine it without those chains to bog you down
That freedom you desire might become your prison
For a life without those ties that bind
Can lead to a life that is lived in frustration
Being able to fly off without a care in the world
May not create a life of happiness but one of isolation
So take that vacation even if it's in your mind
And soak up the freedom for awhile
But then take a look at those chains in your life
And realize they are the faces that make you smile

Post a CommentEnlightening! I enjoyed it :)
wow...that is awesome
Wow, I really liked this one. I was agreeing with the beginning, and then the ending made me disagree with the beginning. Really gives you something to think about.
Freedom IS a state of mind, and joy can be obtained without being "happy" all the time.
We are enjoying the freedom of retirement from working, but there are still some chains!
Fantastic!You always tend to write words of wisdom I need to hear. You indeed have desernment that is talked about in the Bible.
Excellent, Donna!!
Good job, Donna! It's so true - w/o the burdens there are too few pleasures to appreciate! cheers :)
Oh those ties that bind! Well said.
This reminds me of the responsibility it takes to care for plants and flowers, yet you are rewarded in the long run.
