What is it?

It wafts down through the lowlands, like a cool refreshing breeze
It rings from every mountaintop and dances through the trees.
Though we can not touch it, it must be held onto.
No man shall take it from us, it belongs to me and you.

It is challenged on the battlefields, too well we know the cost.
Way too many gave their lives, that it would not be lost.
Through the words of our Constitution, it runs just like a thread.
With God’s grace, we’ll protect it, and defend it till we’re dead.

I guess if it had a color, it’d be red, white and blue…
The colors of America….the brave, the tried, the true.
If perhaps you’re wondering, just what it could be….
It’s the backbone of America….We call it LIBERTY!

We should all be thankful for liberty and pay tribute to those who fought to protect it. Most of us have family members who served or know someone who did. Today as we celebrate our Independence let us pray for those away from family and ask God to watch over their loved ones here at home as they also serve.
I hope you all enjoy a safe and happy Fourth of July!

My name is Betty Fritz. I was born and raised in Texas but have resided in Elkhart, Indiana for the last 25 years. My husband is a Hoosier so that’s how we wound up here. We have two daughters and a son plus 6 grand kids…..3 boys and 3 girls. I retired last year after working for 24 years at Elkhart Child Development Center. I’ve been writing since a teenager and have taken several writing courses. I enjoy writing short stories. I wrote a book of poems, RHYMES OF THE TIMES, which was published a few years ago. I have written countless songs, a few for which demo recordings have been made. Recently I’ve been writing blogs..most of them about my faith and things the Lord has taught me in my Christian life over the last 51 years. My inspiration comes from my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and my desire to see that my grandchildren grow up in a Christian nation. My goal is to bring glory to Him and help others to see that there is POWER in the name of JESUS!
