Freedom Isnt Free... Who says our freedom is free? Not Me. True, We are freer than most, but not enough, that we should boast. Before you say Freedom is free, stop and count the cost of all the lives lost, Freedom isnt free, when theres killing in our streets. Freedom isnt free, to the Soldier that is waiting to be shipped over seas. Freedom isnt free, with the pain, he or she is feeling inside, with the thought of having to leave theyre loved ones behind, and it hurts so bad that it brings them to their knees. Freedom isnt free, when your living in uncertainty. Freedom isnt free, having to say good-bye, to a loved one that is going off to war. Freedom isnt free, to a soldier who is on the front lines, knowing he or she, could die anytime. Freedom isnt free when your lying in bed, waiting and wondering, if youll ever see your loved ones alive again. Freedom isnt free, when a little child cries in the night, for his or her Mommy and Daddy, and theyre not there to hold them close, and comfort them, and to ease their fears, and wipe away theyre tears. And all those in all the other wars, and the lives that are still being lost at this very moment. Do you still say Freedom is free? Freedom isnt free, when a Soldier is wounded in battle. When news reaches, Family and friends at home, And their told that their Soldier is wounded far beyond repair, The loss and pain felt can not compare. Freedom isnt free, with all those many Soldiers that wished they had died because of all the pain in their broken up bodies. Freedom isnt free, when your lying in bed, and you hear that dreaded tap on your door.And you pray to God that you were only having a bad dream. Freedom isnt free when you open the door and listen to the bugle play, and you feel a sudden chill. Everything goes still. Freedom isnt free, when there is a Flag being draped over a coffin, of a Brother, Sister, or a friend. Freedom isnt free, when you think of all the children, of the mothers and the wives, of Fathers, sons and husbands, whose lives have been interrupted. Freedom isnt free, when you think about the graveyard at the bottom of the sea, of the unmarked graves in Arlington. Who says Freedom is Free? Not Me! Written 7/23/008 BY Nora Eason
