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 freedoms, to us, still real

for they fly high with the dove
as we hold on to the freedoms we love

Without positive thinking we'd be in trouble.
Nice write!

One nation, under God.
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL.
Know it, Believe it, Live it.

YES....KJ...we certainly have all of this
which was bestowed to us through the loss
of countless lives prior to our independence.

Let us never forget our freedoms....
Let us never forget how we earned them...

Happy 4th to you and your family on this
day of freedom for us all... May we give
thanx that we live in a democracy where
we are all free...

BRAVO!!! Oh Karilea, this is wonderful, sweet friend, yes, and may we always spread the colors of freedom from our purple mountain majesties down to the fruited plains and from sea to shining sea! (smiles) This is breahtaking, sweet friend, God Bless You, Happy Independence Day, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
