Free as a Fish

Free as a Fish

By Jenny

Tonight I went swimming,

I felt as free as a fish.

It was refreshing,

rejuveinating, cleansing.

My body felt flowy

Like grasses that blow(y)

In the warm summer breeze.

I used to swim often,

with my momma and sista.

We'd jump off the high dive,

at our local municipool.

Then get bugles and donuts.

Although I felt free then,

it wasn't as refreshing,

as it felt tonight,

I felt as free as a fish.

The point of the story,

is to cherish those moments

in city swimming pools.

They are good for your body,

your flexibility and agility.

I need to swim more often,

before I turn eighty,

and treasure every moment

that I feel as free as a fish.
