I’m thankful for freedom.
thankful to live in a country where
peaceful protest isn’t met with government oppression.
thankful to live in a country where
leaders are voted out just as easily as they are voted in.
thankful to live in a country where
I can voice my opinion without fear of reprisal.
thankful to live in a country where
I am free to practice my faith.
thankful to live in a country where
the strong protect the weak.
thankful to live in a country where
anyone can become someone.
thankful to live in
the land of the free and the home of the brave.
and I wonder just how much longer
I will be free to say this…
