By Larry Chadwick Freedom has a home, That it may harbor you. Freedom has a heart, That it may comfort you. Freedom has equality, That it may empower you. Freedom has free speech, That it may listen to you. Freedom has its rights, That it may delight you. Freedom has its laws, That it may challenge you. Freedom has its price, That it may remember you. Freedom has its heroes, That it may honor you. Freedom has wings to go on and on, Going where only eagles dare to soar. Freedom has talons to go on and on, Protecting where all may dare for more.

Larry darling boy what was this doing so far down with no responses? Sometimes these pages move too fast. Never mind I've found it and am boasting it to the top. This is an amazing piece of writing, truly outstanding. Full of love and truth, because only with love and truth can Freedom live. Utterly utterly fabulous darling boy great work   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

I like this very much, Larry. *S* Appreciating what we have... and remembering those who sacrificed so that we might have it... is appropriate anytime. *S* Well written! |

Freedom has its price, That it may remember you. Freedom has its heroes, That it may honor you. Everyday is the day for praising the freedom we so often take for granted. Good one, Larry! |
