I went to the wedding of my good friend’s daughter today. It was good to be in the place of happiness and joy and see young and beautiful people. It was good to feel normal. I wish for a bit more of this normalcy. I loved it. I was bathed in the warmth and love going off in waves from the wonderful family. And the I made a wish for myself:
I yearn for the day when I am free
When I can do only things I love
When I don’t have to drink a thermos of tea
And I don’t feel like I am less than a half
When I see new places and taste new foods,
When I travel not in the summer heat
When the air is crisp and color splashes the woods
And fatigue overwhelms by the night my feet
For I’ve walked a lot and I’ve seen so much
And I’ve captured it all with the click after click
And the candles are lit with the flick of a match
And I’m not the one with the shortest stick
And my feet can dance from the dusk to dawn
And a piece of cake ain’t forbidden fruit
And I laugh and cry and I cartwheel the lawn
I am free, I am well and I’m filled to boot!
