FREEDOM


When the world is mired in strife
I cannot complain about my own life.

I awake to freedom, sunshine, and love;
Most certainly blessings from above.

I can smell the flowers, see the new day
Run through the daisies, laugh and play.

I can hear the sweet sound of birds singing to me
Chirping happily up in the tree.

I sleep in a bed, in a house, in my home
I have a family; I am not alone.

I have food on my table
Work, I am able.

I have a little, not a lot, some to share
I must do unto others; show them I care.

I am strong; I am fit; I am healthy and well
With all of this I have only good news to tell.

When the world is mired in strife
I am blessed with freedom; a privileged life.
