July fourth

                      July fourth.


I have stood with 15,000 Soldiers.
A division of Soldier believing in freedom and the America way.
Willing to protect and insure all people are free.

Here in the USA.
A melting pot of 300 million people.
Who knows good and hard times.
We do our best to get along.
Do our best to care for neighbors and friends.

Standing in a place where freedom of choice is allowed.
Freedom to think.
Option to aim at your dreams and goals is allowed.
Only limit is the wall of fears we create.

Freedom was create by blood of brave men and woman.
























I stood at funeral of men who died in faraway wars.
Their family stood stronger then me.
The brother of my friend killed in Iraq.
Told the world on a large painting on his fence in his yard.

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE. SOME PEOPLE GIVE EVERYTHING.

My wish is simple for the People of the USA on July fourth.
For each of us to look at what we have.
To remember the good people missed in our life.
Be thankful for the opportunity to do great things or nothing.

 






















USA is 235 years old on July fourth. 
We can chose to go to school.
We can chose to work.
We can chose to love or fight.
We can chose the good or bad road.

This is our home.
Stand strong and proud.
The USA flag still stand for hope and opportunity.

I was born poor and had nothing.
I have what I need today.
Family is healthy and strong.
I'm thankful to live in a country where we will die to stay free.





























Thank you for reading.

Author's Note

Today 300,000 thousand Soldiers are standing for freedom. Right or wrong USA will assist and support the people in need. I pray all Soldiers are safe and will come home ASAP. The world may know peace one day.

Blessed are those who stand for freedom, and who fight for their country. An awesome write encircling all the aspects of freedom, and the lives of soldiers. So many people do not know what soldiers have sacrificed for them, in times of war. July 4th is a day to raise that flag in their honor, once again.

The pictures really helped put more effect on this poem. You're a really good writer and always write for a good cause. Great job!

Freedom lives within you... This was so touching and inspirational, even though it may not have meant to be, but that's the beauty of it! Together, we will wish for world peace, and it will come to us along with the thousands and millions of soldiers who will return to us. God bless these brave men. Great write, thank you so much for sharing this.

I really like your poetry, always telling the lessons life has given you. Lessons well learned are never forgotten. The story in this poem is strong. Bless it be the free and the road they choose!

And one of those 300,000 is a brother of mine.
Our freedom was given to us by the brave soldiers (men & women)
Heartfelt piece here Coyote.

An excellent poem. I agree we should be thankful for freedom and those who defend and defended it. Great job on this.

[Phibby Venable]

lifetime. i love America. No place can mix it up and have it come out
as well as this country. very, very fine poem.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

thank you for this one and for the sacrifice you yourself made for our country.

[M.Babu]

This was brutally heartfelt and for that it was a great read Coyote.

"FREEDOM ISN'T FREE. SOME PEOPLE GIVE EVERYTHING."
I like that statement. It's not only VERY true...but it feels like a reminder that we all need once in a while when we take our freedom for granted...this was amazing Coyote.

Nicely done...

I heard something today on the radio from an Australian returned soldier in Afghanistan, from the start of that war where we in Australia had "boat people" refugees turning up our shores, he said he spoke to an Afghani and he said "we just want to be safe" .. a profound statement, it makes it human, not political

A write from the heart and mind, thank you for sharing Coyote
