Living with Freedom

Living with freedom
means more than wings.

Freedom offers choice
and yet great responsibility.
Extend your wings of courage
to shelter those who have no voice....
to protect those who have no sanctuary....
to help those whose souls can no longer withstand
the ravages of devastation.

Suffer with the children
who know no safety.
Cry alongside the women
whose lives have been violated.
Grieve with the men
whose families have experienced
.....violence
..........destruction
...............defeat
.....................D A R K N E S S . . . . .

Can you hear their screams?
Can you feel their despair?
Can you reach them?

Freedom is a gift
that must be shared
in order to be fully realized.
