Freedom from an abusive relationship? Ten-minutes alone in the bathroom, away from your children? Moving out of your parent’s house? Freedom to vote? Freedom to choose? Freedom to accept and embrace your sexuality? Freedom to love or learn in an obtuse way? Freedom could be a pig let out of a pen, or a rescued dog. Perhaps a leaf, riding the back of a breeze…
This week’s challenge is the word: FREEDOM
♾♾♾
Freedom
I was finally free
But it came at a cost
Now I had plenty of time on my hands
But it also made me feel as if I no longer had value
No one clamoring for my attention, no one needing help
My kids have all grown up and have flown the nest
As an empty nester, I thought I would enjoy the freedom
But I forgot that feeling wanted also carried its own high
But…..
It all changed with the arrival of grandkids
Their parents need help and turn towards us, grandparents
Now I don’t have free time anymore
Little hand tug at mine and tiny voices call for my attention
I love being wanted once more
And am willing to give up my freedom!
♾♾♾♾
