I’m thankful for the freedom <br />I enjoy each and every day <br />I’m thankful for the freedom <br />That lets me go my own way <br /> <br />I’m thankful for the freedom <br />To pray as I please <br />I’m thankful for the freedom <br />To satisfy all my own needs <br /> <br />I’m thankful for the liberties <br />My freedom has given me <br />I’m thankful for the red, white and blue <br />That flies to let me know I’m free <br /> <br />I’m thankful for the voice I have <br />When I want to disagree <br />Knowing I can speak out <br />And my freedom stays with me <br /> <br />But most of all I’m thankful for <br />The men and women who all fight <br />They give me all the freedoms <br />That makes my life so nice <br /> <br /> <br />© 2-11-11/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thank-the-men-and-women/
