A Taste of Freedom

Do we know what freedom means

Without a mask?  The stuff of dreams?

To see one's neighbour’s smiling face?

The advent of new time of grace?

 

As always, it’s the little things

That make our day; the bird that sings,

The bus that pulls up right on time,

A friendly phone call down the line …

 

Rich soft fruit choice on market stall

For some, the joy of kicking ball!

Cool drink with friends in light attire

As ladies glow and men perspire!

 

Down town in blazing sun, a buzz

So, meet and greet is what one does!

A challenge new -– a place to sit

As bars and cafés score a hit!

 

Like lions long-locked in a cage,

We stride forth, eager to engage;

This new-found freedom lifts our souls

In more than one way, we’ve new goals!
