For All These Things

For all the freedoms that we enjoy and take for granted
For all the things we cling to and fight over
Let us never forget those who came before

For those who fell, for those who fought, for those who lived
For those who faced a real challenge far greater than any we will ever know
For those who are no longer here to see what their sacrifice has wrought

Thank you for allowing us to be
Thank you for allowing us to live
Thank you for allowing me to be that which I am

For all these things
Thank you
