FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The greatest freedom that we share,
That is uniquely ours without compare
Is to express our thoughts of every kind,
Be they crudely said or sweetly rhymed,
That from each word that we speak,
Grow with a wiser mind to seek,
The ultimate love to express,
To all those people we address.
Though done in Silence or out loud,
Or written down to make us proud,
Let us proceed to free the Dove,
With words that speak of God and love.
For we should express but gratitude,
With a humble graceful aptitude
