Freedom

Freedom It's not just about what country you live in It's not about the rights you have. It's not about the religion you choose to practice You also have the right not to choose one at all. It's not about being able to stand up and speak your mind. It's not about your right to vote Or your right to choose the life or death of the unborn Freedom is a gift from God Starting with free will Freedom was not given to be taken for granted Men died for you to have freedom Racism shouldn't exist in a free society They watched friends die on the battlefield against tyranny for your children to live free. It's a gift worth fighting for even when you really don't want to fight. When we start respecting the gift The wrongs in this country will be made right The futures of your children deserve for us to get it right. Black people, white people, native people, Mexican people All people want to see their children grow up free and happy It's time we let them.

Hi Carl, you've expressed freedom well. I think most of us here take it for granted. I'm talking about US-A. :) A great write, enhancing a gift given by God... ;) Happy Valentines to you..... XOX ~Love LINDA~

Thanks for reading Linda. Was feeling like on the day love is expressed maybe the love for our freedom should be important as well. Happy Valentine's day to you as well
