Freedom

Freedom is in our fingertips
When we free a bird from the cage

Freedom is in a smile
When we comfort an orphan child

Freedom allows our dreams to take flight
Freedom is in the air, and in the layers of a stream

Freedom is not a treasure
A possession, or a jewel
Freedom is a happy wind that blows our hair
Around a free apple orchid in spring
