The outside body
is surely blessed with freedom
cause for gratitude

Yet our souls be chained
bound by earthly cares and fears
prisoners of woe

We need only ask..
by His Grace we are set free
Freedom from within!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Dear Ellie,
  A good point made here!  How ironic that we can be so free in one way, but bound by the chains of darkness in the more important arena of our lives.  True freedom comes as we find, by God's Grace, true Freedom for all aspects of our lives, without AND within. Thanks for this Freedom's Day Reminder,
   David

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

ellie,

A wonderful landmark for independence. Your poem gives reason for true celebration.... for we have freedom within and without through God's Grace.

Wow, the poem at first seemed so complex, but the message was actually really simple!
