Freedom
Offers us the
Opportunity to
Live and believe as we so choose.
Lives have been lost so that this may be so.
Be thankful for such a blessing,
Speak for those without voice
That they might have
Freedom.

Is there another word which gives such a feeling of elation as 'Freedom'?
I doubt it...Wonderful write m'friend.

This is so well said!  Joni Mitchell's old folksong says something about "you don't know what you've got 'til its gone" and freedom is at the top of that list.  Ken

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Linda, you are so right, and silencing those in the world who really want freedom and wanting Michael Moore or the Dixie Chicks to be assasinated just for expressing their opinions is not freedom, and I pray finally we can work to peace for once instead of having to war all the time! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light awlays shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Now this is a good choice too!  I'm beginning to think you're having fun with the thought that you'll be making us take aspirin over our decision making process!

Hooray for freedom! May we never, ever take it for granted. Because when we do, that is when we lose it.

Great write my friend.

Sorry, I must have missed your reply! Looks like you might have given me too much credit in the brains department!

Surely you jest, O' Wise One!
