Price of Freedom By Paul Wilson Skies of red light up night as battle wages on Fighting for what is right battle cries welcome dawn Deadly sounds…distant guns more lives will be lost Mothers weep for their sons as we all pay the cost Crimson rivers now flow as reaper takes his toll Lives all lost…friends and foe freedom bought with their soul The bugle sounds its tune for the lives lost this day This battle must end soon war between blue and gray Brother fighting brother many lives will be lost Grief consumes their mother as she now pays the cost Freedoms price has been met on winters day they meet Lives lost with much regret weapons now at their feet Peace has come to our land freedom our battle cry Together we now stand as old glory flies high [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (10-29-2002 12:49 AM).] |

Paul - seems that you have read some on the Civil War. I lived in VA and visited many of the battlefields. I find it amazing what happened in that war... BC |

Bill...Thanks for stopping by. Where I grew up is a fort along the Mississippi River that was build to protect New Orleans during this war. As a young boy I spent many days exploring it...Paul |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Paul, this is such a heartaching sentimental write, sweet friend, I too wish we could end all war and find a way to save this special place we live without having to fear for our children and live as brothers and sisters! (sigh) My heart goes out to all, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!
