FREEDOM’S SONG
\n<\/strong>
\nEach morning as I peruse
\nmy ever-growing list
\nof what I want to do today,
\nwhere to go,
\nwhich direction to take,
\nwhat to see,
\nwhat I want to accomplish
\nin these precious few hours
\nallotted to me each day,
\nI remember at once
\nhow blessed I really am
\nto have the freedom
\nto do as I have planned,
\nto take whichever path
\nsuits my fancy as I choose.
\nAnd at the same time
\nI must remind myself again
\nthat I have freedoms
\ndenied to so many
\nwhose hopes and dreams
\ngo unfulfilled,
\ntheir freedoms suppressed,
\ntheir days full of agony
\nand perpetual despair.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So as this day unfolds,
\nI remember to give thanks
\nto those who have made
\nand continue to make possible
\nthe freedoms I enjoy.
\nAnd I pray for peace
\nand freedom for all
\nevery day and everywhere.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
