I am beside you once
again
Now be it sun storm
or rain,
Sorrow and fear are away, afar,
Happiness floods me
gone is the pain
Of loneliness , peaceful
is the soul;
chains of
captivity broken at last
How wonderful, how precious feels
The sweet breath of
freedom;
Home...
Home again, among
love and care
Ah! Home is something
very rare!
With thanks to Allah, I bow, low,
Bless me Oh Lord ! to
you I pray,
Give me courage to
defend my land
If need arises, and duty calls, any
day.

when you find that freedom, from captivity...whether physical and tangible...or spiritual...its a wonderful thing....praise indeed...
Thank you Mr Brian these lines were inspired by the release of 90,000 POWs from Bangla Desh (East Pakistan) in 1973- unusual in the history of the Sub Continent
Those who once experienced captivity know the price of freedom.
Yes indeed-Thank you Friend Gabriella
