Freedom at last

Time goes by quickly and fades to the past
dreams not yet realized remain out of your grasp
Promises all broken your heart soon follows suit
vows ne'er be spoken, trees barren of fruit
As days turn to weeks, to months, to years
you look back one day to a trail of tears
Tears you have cried for those gone from your past
tears for your self ...you are lonely at last
Things you have given .......your heart and your mind
not again to be found .... not a one you can find
You're not as strong as once thought you could be
you pray for your mind, for just once to be free
How will you know this, this freedom you ask
when you look down from heaven and think freedom at last
