Freedom Freedom is a voice of candor Ingenuousness and frankness It is a voice of matador With the red cape of caress A painting made of vivid hues A wind blowing round the bend A vision of horizons view An unobstructed road to vend Freedom is an odors essence Inhaled without the smell of smog Given in an act of presence Without the clog of mud and bog It is a stepping-stone a gift A turn of mind that you must find It is a word of pure uplift That has no skin or one of bind Freedom is a flag of wave A save that we forever crave |

Another fine poem That brings thought and images to mind Just sometime Freedom is the smell of smog The mud and bog Freedom is the ability to see the cape And not charge Enjoyed as always Gloom |

It is a stepping-stone a gift A turn of mind that you must find It is a word of pure uplift That has no skin or one of bind Seymour, yes, how true. Freedom is a gift. Sometimes taken for granted. Thankyou for this reminder of words to-day. Hot biscuits with honey? Okie Dokie....Enchantress put the kettle back on!! hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Good morning Sy ... just passing through on my way to work in the gardens. Finally, Spring seems to have come to the northeast. What a splendid poem to think about as I head outside. Freedom is indeed a gift and one we must never take for granted. Freedom is a flag of wave A save that we forever crave Hugs and Smiles ... Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

"It is a stepping-stone a gift A turn of mind that you must find It is a word of pure uplift That has no skin or one of bind" I too appreciate this stanza. Life has no bearing on race, color or religion and freedom is one of the most powerful tools we could ever posess. quatro |

A painting made of vivid hues A wind blowing round the bend A vision of horizons view An unobstructed road to vend Seymour, this is so beautiful. All of it is but that part really stood out. :heartL Hugs, Ethel |

(sigh) I think freedom is a very essential thing ever too much taken for granted and so often misinterpreted, especially in recent times, and I believe freedom is a bird that can only fly if the battalions of brothers fly honestly behind it! (big hugggsssssss) Ths is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. Nothing. And then nothing honey if it ain't free. |
