Burning All the Bridges March, 2012

I used to look out my front window and watch the birds in the sky
And wonder what it would be like to have the freedom to fly
I made a choice to live a life where I sacrificed my dreams
And I’ve tried to make the best of it but I’m running out of steam

I’ve packed all the things I need
Burning all the bridges behind me
I’m leaving for a different place
Where I can be the person that I was born to be

I got married fifty years ago to a man I rarely see
He always finds some place to go to get away from me
There was a time I used to miss him, there was a time I used to care
But I can’t keep up this masquerade when there’s so little time to spare

I’ve packed all the things ….

It took me many years just to find the strength
To stop putting off my freedom for some other day
But I don’t wonder anymore how it feels to spread my wings
And fly away. Now I can fly away

Now I sit out on my front porch where I can hear the ocean waves
And no one tells me what I got to do so I can do just what I please
Now my friends and neighbours visit me so we can share a laugh or two
We play card games late into the night maybe have a drink or two

I’ve packed all the things…….
