Counting Freedoms You and I still have freedom to work freedom to pray freedom to grieve freedom to say You and I still cherish freedom to cry freedom to buy freedom to fly freedom to try You and I still hold tight freedom to mend freedom to bend freedom to heal freedom to feel and in the ring of chimes that peal You and I count these freedoms which are more real for they fly high with the dove as we hold on to freedoms we love ~*~ from July 4, 1999 Free – dom! Free to be – me Free to walk – the walk Free to talk – the talk Free to cry and Free to sigh Free to be lifted way on high Free to pray Free to laugh Free to see – and be seen Free to express [poetry – nonetheless] Free to sing Set church bells to ring Free to complain Again and again Free to compliment Free to repent Free to own Free to praise Let our voices all be raised! Free to die For this USA, our country. |

All those freedoms suddenly became more valuable. We can see more clearly now, how they were bought with a price. God bless. |
