Life, Love and Liberty

 (For Anne Frank)

The world now knows the words she once held so dear…
What the enemy tried to smother, now rings loud and clear!
To herself, she hid her own despair
With pen in hand, her words said she cared.
The enemy tried to destroy and exterminate her kind…
They may destroy the body, but not the soul or the mind.
It takes courage not to give up or shed a tear,
The strong fight to the end for what they hold dear.
For Life, Love and Liberty, we must forever stand
And honor every good creed by man.
There’s a purpose for all who believe,
Strength and courage is given if they’ll receive,
Anne was young, but old beyond her years,
Her compassion and knowledge of life; brought many to tears.
Anne believed there was “good in all men,”
She’d say with a smile…
Were her feelings the same when she walked her last mile?
She had a loving heart, and compassion for all, and through their strife
She stayed hopeful, until, they ended her young life.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
