No string is attached now,
You have your wish come true
For being free like a cow.
Bless you.
You are free to fly
In the boundless sky.
But freedom is not absolute,
To remain free
And feel the joy of being free,
You must pick a space
On earth and make it your own place.
In this way,
When you fly away,
The earth shall rise
Along with you, no surrpise.
You thus give wings
to all the living things,
Especially children
And plants in your garden.

Happy Thursday!
😉 😉 😉
there are plants in my garden. Thanks for the poem.
Excellent poem Jingle.
Freedom is easier when you have a place of your own.
You are free to fly
In the boundless sky.
But freedom is not absolute
– fabulous line. Jingle, I always try to go to anyone’s blog that leaves a comment on mine. this time, I have a lot of people whose blog site is not listed with their comment and I can’t place them by the names on your list. (they might not be from the rally, but I’m thinking they are). Could you remind people next week to make sure their signatures on their comments will link them back to their blog. I don’t like missing anyone who comments, but I can’t always get to every person on the list. (esp. this week as my computer use is limited due to my fried hard drive..good news is that it’s fixed. I just have to reinstall all of my programs now). Thanks. Lovely day to you. Hugs. Once I get reinstalled, I’ll try to get back to the ones I didn’t get a chance to read.
Just beautiful! I love the part about children :). I would love to fly away.
Perhaps my computer will decide to work now so this comment won’t get swallowed!
I love this poem, it’s so beautiful! Wonderful job.
Hi Jingle, I have a new post.

It took me some time, to finally be free, of the humble request you asked of me. It wasn’t at all a trouble or pain, Nor was it full of vane. My 18 comments are complete, and i am now free to compete.
Great poem by the way, though….i dont know how free cows are….:P anyway have a good one and keep up doing what you do.
what an insightful view on freedom… great poem as usual, jingle!
oh this is a beautiful piece!!! I enjoying coming to read your work!
This is so lovely!!! Both Your words and the picture! Thank You and Cheers and Namaste. 🙂
You’ve captured carefree freedom beautifully! Great poem!
i agree… freedom is definitely not absolute… we are free to do as we wish, but we do not have the right to step on other people’s toes.. 🙂
No matter how free you are to fly, you must return to your nest where you will be faced with responsibilities that curtails or at least takes a bit of that freedom. Nice work Ji.
…and I am working tirelessly, you’ll soon here “done” (wink).
Would we really know what to do with that kind of freedom? I would hope so, but I wonder. Thought provoking 55, Jingle.
Have a great weekend and week. 🙂
Awesome……..Happy Friday.
Nice !!!!!
Freedom is not absolute – so true!

Nice poem, I like the expression free like a cow, never heard that before. My wife is a cow lover, she has quite a few cow ornaments around the house & we even have Mad Cow car seat covers
