That Flying Feeling
.
About a thousand years ago
as a child running wild,
we used to ride our bikes
for miles and miles
through the countryside
and down to the ocean wide!
What freedom was this
that today’s children all miss,
no such thing as congestion
of traffic or lungs
(not to mention crime where now
life is worth less than a dime),
we would trudge up hill
and soar down dale
for all the world like an eagle on wings
swooping low and sweeping high
shouting for the wind to carry
our voices up to God in the sky,
oh to feel again the joy we felt,
the immensity of our world and
the freedom to have fun in the sun!
