I think I surely would have wished

if wishes ever were granted to me,

to erase the tears of each person ,

who was born so, but never lived free.

How dare these mere mortal men,

trap and confine then bind and hurt,

At 63 I feel 36 (in my head) & my body feels 96. Thrice wed, very vocal widow of 13 yrs. & I say & "do what I want" (Cartman). The lion in me never retreats.
