| Our Nation's Liberty | 
|
| Some people take for granted
Our nation's liberty,
Because they never paid the price,
Nor fought for victory.
Some people haven't earned the right
To be a citizen,
Nor paid for battles of the past,
Nor shared the race that's run.
I think that it's in sharing,
That we begin to care.
I think that it's in doing,
That we become aware.
I think that it's in losing,
That we desire to win,
I think that it's in climbing,
That we see where we've been.
I think that it's in sorrow,
That we are made to see
How much we really paid for
This land of liberty.
Oh do not take for granted
Our nation's liberty,
Or we will have to pay the price
To once again be free. | By James H. Lee, Jr.
