Thank You, Hyde Park Poetry,
Thursday Poets Rally for this Wonderful Surprise Award
When Blessed By Freedom
I
am beside you once again
Now
be it sun storm or rain,
Sorrow
and fear are afar,
Happiness
floods me gone is the pain
Of
loneliness, peaceful is the soul;
With
chains of captivity broken at last
How
wonderful and precious it feels
The
sweet breath of freedom;
Home
again, among love and care
Ah!
Home is something very rare!
In
Gratitude
I
bow down low,
Bless
me OH Lord! to You I pray,
Give
me courage to defend my land
If
need arises-any day.
