Let Freedom Reign
by Eva Clayton
A vehicle sticker caught my eye while I was on a fast pace to reach my
destination, my brain in overdrive.
I immediately started to hum God Bless America. With my patriotism
strengthened, a vision of our red, white, and blue flag blowing in the wind rattled
a few dusty inner chambers of my mind.
Faces past and present (family, friends, unknown) who boldly stood and are
still standing, representing the ultimate sacrifice in securing our homeland and all
that it represents.
God bless the homes where there is a vacancy, heal the broken heart, strengthen
the soul.
We are a blessed nation of differences where dreams and goals can be achieved.
The reward a little bigger piece of the pie. Share it.
To the many who have gone out and broke trail, we must not run ahead trying
to reap the benefits selfishly, but honor the trail and those who were and are our
trailbreakers.
God bless America and may she remain humble toward the needs of people.
Let freedom reign.
