We’re free .
What an interesting concept.
We choose where we step foot,
Our identities draped in linens ,
Our hobbies prancing through the air.
We sit at our desks
Falling into the rhythm of each mechanical clicking key.
We gather with loved ones
Pondering today’s status as the sun greets our skin with infinite warmth.
The grill hisses with anticipation
As the wind guides us.
While the burgers sing
Laughter fills the air.
Then, we remember
All of those before us,
Fighting invisible forces ,
Dreaming of a future
Driven by love.
We remember
Our family and friends
Filled with bravery as they left what they knew
To fight for the unknown.
We remember the lives
That gave the ultimate sacrifice.
We remember the families,
Healing from loss ,
Celebrating each return.
We remember we are free.
They gave us this reality,
Shaped by their care.
We remember.
Most importantly,
We are thankful.
Thanks to you,
We are free.
