I Am Free Poem by Maneshree Govender

As I looked around me,
I realised I am free,
For there were many people with many places to be.
I had nowhere to go,
Neither did I have anyone to see.
I must admit i felt somewhat lonely as i sat under my tree.
Yes I am a beggar with no home nor do I have a family.

As I smiled at the many people pass me by
Most of then never smiled back they just looked at me and let out
a sigh.
Maybe I'd never have money for all expensive things to buy.
But in my heart I will always be happy,
for I know that I will always be able to enjoy lifes little moments.
Be happy and never sigh.
