All of my favorite patriotic songs have been running through my head this morning. As I made a post for the for my online magazine, (Mermaids of the Lake) that I share with my BFF, Shelley, I was humming, "My Country 'Tis of Thee" (See the post and Lyrics)Certain lyrics are more relevant to me than others-
Sweet land of liberty - of thee I sing...
Let freedom ring...
Land that I love...
The land of the free and the home of the brave...
I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
I love the Lee Greenwood song, God Bless the USA, and although I am - proud to be an American, for me, better lyrics would be - I'm grateful to be an American, where at least I know I'm free...
I am truly grateful to live in this beautiful country, where with all of its problems and faults, at least I know I'm free... to be whomever I desire to be, to worship God freely, to have opinions that can be expressed. Freedom is the most basic of human rights and I am grateful for all of those who have fought to make this land that I love free because we all know - Freedom isn't Free!
