The paths to freedom were not paved
with swords, and wars, and bloodshed.
The paths to freedom were not lead
by the courageous strong or proud.
The paths to freedom were not found
by those who sought to rule.
The paths to freedom were paved
with kind deeds, hearts, and souls.
The paths to freedom were lead
by the meek, the knowing, the soft.
The paths to freedom were found
by those who sought to help.
The paths to freedom, were not paths,
filled with bousterous noise and sound.
The paths to freedom could be called
the quiet roads to freedom.
Whose silent path, the humble walk
Bravely,
Boldly,
Determined.
Dedicated to all the Veterans.
