~Freedom Poems~
I speak to you from a heavy heart of the tragedy that befell our Nation on 9/11, and the subsequent results of that action. The harmony was the coming together in love and compassion for our fellow man, and the disharmony was our going to war.
Many families are bereft today because of our decision to intervene and help others to find freedom from tyranny. These are our heroes who have stepped forward and given of their life for others. To the loved ones left behind I send you my heartfelt love, appreciation, and gratefulness. With our God nothing is ever in vain. The memory of your loved ones live on in the hearts of many, and freedom for those oppressed.
Some of these writings were given after the 9/11 tragedy and some were written when both of our sons, our only children, were sent to war. This was a very difficult time, but one of learning and great trust. I was taught to let go and let God handle those things much too difficult for me alone to handle.
It is with a most grateful heart I saw them return, one to continue on and train soldiers, and the other to a different job in life.
May you find some comfort in these writings and may you find a new zeal in our belief of one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
