This reminded me of an Crosby Stills Nash & sometimes Young tune--- "Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground... Mother Earth will swallow you lay your body down..." Thanks for the reminder. |

Chillingly true, Marge. Freedom is very expensive...never free. You express that beautifully here. Love and hugs, Your Lil' Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

I pray that I will never feel those tears roll down my cheeks. How terribly sad for all. In light of 9/11, this was particularly touching Marge. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Thank you all so very much for the wonderful thoughts this little piece brought to your hearts~ As our U.S. soldiers serve all over the world attempting to afford others some semblance of freedom ... may we be ever-mindful of their duty and the sacrifices~ God bless all of them in their endeavors~ May they know that we support them in their duties~ Merry Christmas to ALL U.S. Soldiers and thoughtful appreciation to the families of those who served and gave all~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
