Today, <br /> I do not have a job or money for the things I need.; <br /> But I am free to go look for it. <br /> I do not have a home or a family beside me; <br /> But I am free to go and find them. <br /> I do not have anywhere to go or a place that I belong; <br /> But I am free to go searching for one. <br /> I do not have a church or a group that I’m welcome at; <br /> But as of now, I can join one. <br /> <br />Today, <br /> I do not have everything that I need in my life, <br /> But it is more than I had yesterday… <br /> <br />And because of today, <br /> I have the freedom to build my tomorrow.<br /><br />Sarah Anthofer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/perspective-of-a-freed-slave-written-for-american-history-class-2007/
