What is the theme of freedom? <br />Life, <br />Love, <br />Happiness, <br />Contentment. <br />Is this so? <br />Can freedom be these, <br />Our best, <br />The good things in life? <br /> <br />Or is freedom more? <br />Is freedom the blood with which it is bought? <br />Is freedom the evils which our men have suffered <br />To bring it to us? <br /> <br />Freedom's theme, <br />Sung through the ages, <br />Is sacrifice, <br />And pain, <br />For happiness dearly bought. <br /> <br />Freedom's theme <br />Is a hymn of praise <br />To the God who smiled on us, <br />And gave us America. <br /> <br />Freedom's theme <br />Is life, earned by death. <br />It is love, in power, <br />Spurned by the hate of the centuries. <br />It is contentment, with the shouts of thanksgiving, <br />For all God has blessed us with. <br /> <br />Freedom's theme- <br />Praise, joy, love, <br />Should be the song on our tongues always: <br />Thanksgiving to God for this privilege, <br />Dearly bought.<br /><br />James Grengs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-s-theme/
