They tell me <br />'Freedom is never free.' <br />I know that- <br />More than most realize. <br />Freedom cost us more <br />Than we should have to give. <br />Freedom cost us blood. <br />It cost us the lives <br />Of our fathers, <br />Our sons, <br />Our brothers. <br />But while freedom is never free, <br />Remember- <br />It has been bought at great price, <br />And so is a thing of great value. <br />We must defend it, <br />From those who would take it away. <br />The defense of our freedoms <br />Will cost us- <br />More than we wish to pay. <br />But we must pay, to defend, <br />For if we try to make freedom free, <br />We forget- <br />True freedom is never free.<br /><br />James Grengs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-is-never-free/
