People may dream of palaces,
Stately homes ripe with age.
Where they may dwell in solitude,
As broods a bird in a cage.
I care not for a mansion vast,
Littered with gold though it maybe.
Nor would I live a shadowy past,
While this earth is wide and free.
If this rough world is mine to roam,
No single roof shall I ever possess.
No earthly dwelling place is home,
Nor I care not where my feet rest.

A wonderful poem with a great title. Freedom is the highest of all possessions. Freedom is the foundation of life. We can never trade freedom with all the riches in this world. Beautifully written with wisdom and insight. Onto my Poem List.
