Freedom’s Loss

Behind glass dressed in orange
Freedom lost to anger

Freedom-July 2013, Rhyme

The Day After…

Posted on July 5, 2013July 14, 2013 by Leonas Lines

The fireworks are over,
The celebrations cease.
Independence Day has passed,
Patriotism tends to decrease.
Yet, Old Glory still stands waving,
For she celebrates freedom everyday.
Her Stars and Stripes fly freely,
Unflurried, come what may.
May her presence daily remind us,
To value our liberty.
Let’s choose to celebrate everyday,
We live in this Home of the Free!

Our Life, Liberty,
And Pursuit of Happiness
Declarations made
As endowed by our Creator
Inalienable rights

Independence Eve

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Independence Eve,
A time to reflect,
Upon all the freedoms we receive.
Independence Eve,
A time to stand for what we believe,
And our liberties to protect.
Independence Eve,
A time to reflect.
