To be Free

Fallen Acorn from a tree above
to the river below
Drifting down stream
To the ocean it will go

Get's caught on a branch
from a fallen tree
in the river it will be
Dancing around for a day or two
it finally breaks free.

Drifting down stream it will go
wild waves taking it to sea.
A quarry of rocks it will stop
dancing around it can't break free,
for a week or two
Brushing the rocks it cannot stop
for a week or two

Wild waves pushes it free
on it's way to the sea.
It's finally free
To the ocean it will be.

About this poem:
The day we leave home is the fallen acorn from it's tree
the branches it gets caught the quary of rocks are the roadblocks we
face in life trying to have a clean, free path to our end.

That is the Idea I was trying to send out. No matter how long were caught in a situation sooner or later we can break free. Thank you cafetwo for seeing it the way it was suppose to be seen. cheers
