Freedom has never been free
A price is paid by us all
Some pay a heavier toll
We live, we fight, we do what is right
Pushing, defending, fighting off the night

^^So true and how many walk around oblivious to this truth? Too many.

Great work Bill, I always enjoy your insight.

Great poem and advice

Make someone smile each and every day
Leave your mark upon the lives of others
Never bending on matters of principle
As day slips into the dead of night
I smile, knowing I did it right

That must be a wonderful feeling, to know you did it right. I wish I was so sure always;)

Leave the world a better place
Touch someone's heart each day
Defend those who cannot defend themselves
Time is the most precious gift one can give
Give it all to others and truly live

This part is very thoughtful and is full of truth.
Rather then be selfish, it is better to share
and give to others...liked it!

Make someone smile each and every day
Leave your mark upon the lives of others
Never bending on matters of principle
As day slips into the dead of night
I smile, knowing I did it right

A very good advice where we do the right
thing each day and go to sleep knowing we
did something good...nicely penned!
