Chained with self-sufficiency, locked up by pride shamefully.

LIBERTY FOUND GLORY

Making some flashbacks
Reminiscing those happy days
Remembering all plays and games
Climbing & stoning the fruit trees
Running & chasing on the streets
Swimming in lakes, rivers & beaches
Riding bicycle on rocky roads & plains
Hunting birds & spiders with siblings
Leaping and jumping with friends
Eating and singing with cousins

O those childhood days of liberty
O the freedom you enjoy each day
When nothing to fear and to worry
When nothing to look any uncertainty
No need to think about an empty tummy
No need to think about the bills monthly
To plan for the future is not your say
To do what's next just come what may
Yours is to follow whatever they say
Yours is to go as they lead the way

But everything turned upside-down
The freedom was stolen in that little town
Like a colorful and beautiful balloon
Tragically when uncontrollably blown
Boom! Freedom was chosen to disown
The happy face replaced with a frown
No joyful spirit and soul to be shown
That happy little child was in a lockdown
Forced to be someone who's grown

Each member left one by one
Adult's responsibility wasn't done
Father & elder siblings were gone
The child acted to be one
Learned to stand alone
Learned not to lean on anyone
Learned to decide for everyone
And to say what's good for someone
Yes, sadly this was how she became
Got lost but searched out by none

But this lost child continue to grow
Though afraid about tomorrow
But the child just go with the flow
Hiding from shadow to shadow
No sure direction to follow
If there is more you need to know
This lost child doesn't trust any fellow
To touch the child with your elbow
Is a secret raise of an eyebrow
Doubtful in everything you show

Yes, that child was imprisoned tightly
Chained with self-sufficiency
Locked up by pride shamefully
But that child was freed finally
When the key holder of humility
Came in to open the door silently
With a sweet smile of sincerity
She talked to that child lovingly
She reminded the child of her identity
Yes, Ma'am Liberty found Glory

She is to me a shining candle
Her testimony is remarkable
She lives her life so simple
She taught me how to humble
Not in words but by example
Yes, her voice is so gentle
Yes, her face is so lovable
Yes, her character is noble
Yes, her faith is truly visible
Glory to God for her example!




(Matthew 18:1-11)
