FREEDOM

As I watched the fireworks light up the sky,
I thought of the freedom for which many have died.
A freedom for which many millions still yearn.
To live and to laugh, and yes, even to learn.
The freedom to reach out to each other in love,
The freedom to give thanks to our Father above.
The freedom to enjoy the work of our hands,
The freedom to travel, and enjoy our great land.
Freedom to worship in the church of our choice.
How many of us, in these freedoms rejoice?
Lord, walk before us, and help us to see.
It's by God’s grace that we are free.
