From the purple mountains to the vast blue skies,
From the wild bears to the intricate design on a butterfly,
From the colorful people who travel the world, to a house cat chasing a bird
Little children playing in the dirt, growing up, getting ready for work
Hard cover, soft cover, leather bound books
Walking to school in the bright sunlight,
Waiting for the bus on a starry night
Holding your family warm in your grasp
Mourning the ones that have already passed
Walking your dog on a leash outside
Going for an exciting joyride
Skipping college classes just cause you can
Studying hard for that same exam
Sitting inside, playing a vintage board game,
or going outside to run in the rain
Eating food everyday before going to bed
while having a sturdy or shabby roof over your head
From gently painting the flat plains or rolling hills,
to peacefully protesting overpriced bills
Pleading your case in court before going to jail,
and receiving unread, unopened mail
Some people sacrifice everyday for you and me,
our brave soldiers volunteer to save us because…
freedom isn’t free

I wrote this about a year ago and forgot about it, oops...
