Under God

nation gone under."

Poems to Ponder
Monthly Column by Jan Lutz
Blessed to Be Free
Born in freedom!
How I’m blessed
To be a citizen of the U.S.
This liberty’s
A gift to me.
And though priceless, it’s never free.
Countless patriots
Paid the price
By offering the ultimate sacrifice.
They died in the hope
That some day we
Would have a world where all would be free.
And still today
That fight goes on
To rid our world of oppression.
Blood-bought freedom-
May I ever
Cherish it as a priceless treasure.
America,
Land of my birth,
Beacon of hope for all the earth.
