FREEDOM TO BE
Today I grant myself
permission
to eat and drink
what I enjoy,
ignoring all the nay-sayers.
I will do nothing all day
if I choose,
Take an afternoon nap
read a book until dawn,
get up at noon if I so desire.
My house can stay messy
for all I care
while I let my mind wander,
amusing itself
in random pursuits.
After all, I'm retired,
I can do what I like,
someone said.
Yes, I can and I will--
No apologies forthcoming.
