FREEDOM

So often taken for granted,,,
by those who don't care....
Defended with blood and tears,,,,
by those who choose to see...
It's ours to enjoy,,,,
tho many don't understand....
We are condemed by the condemed,,,,
labeled evil by small minds....
Why?
Freedom is never free,,,
the cost is unfathomable...
We are called down upon,,,,
simply because of this wonderful gift..
Given out of love and pride..
to many who don't see the reality
All of Americas children,,
eyes open
eyes closed
Feel free,,to share it,,,,
it's there for one,,,
and all

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike

And not just American children but also children of the world. Good piece... very thoughtful.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I love this part of the poem the most. It expresses so much within the words and that is sadly the truth. Small minds and close-mindedness are the reasons behind most of the issues of war and conflict in the world today. Anyways, great read!!!

Amen. *S* I think many forgot that for a long time... that complacency is no more.

Baseball and Apple Pie.  I cry when I sing the National Anthem at the baseball fields...I'm so proud to have freedom.
