Today’s word is “footloose” ... foo t-loos ... free to go or travel about; not confined by responsibilities. (Dictionary.com)
Free
Walking about, footloose,
Without a care,
Appears to be the best of worlds,
What we long for most of all.
There are conditions of course,
Enough money to guarantee
All options open.
Time to go wherever you will
For as long as you will,
Health, to walk and climb
And breathe the freedom in.
And no one must suffer. No children
Languishing. No elders ignored.
No friends or lovers left alone.
And of course, no work, no office,
Unless you can take it with you.
For every wonderous step,
the wanderer will leave behind
as much as he gains.
