[hometext] => This a rant on my right to feel the way that I do!!!!
[bodytext] => I am sitting here with the news up loud
Knowing we are there to help makes me proud
I know so many just don't understand
If you had no freedom
If you had no say
How would you feel?
What could you do?
Without help, nothing
I miss my husband
I miss his touch
But I am proud of what he does
I am proud of whom he is
You may have the right to protest
And you may not like this war
But no one has the right to tell me my husband's rights should be ignored
His right to be proud
His right to be a patriot
They say HE is wrong, that just isn't true
My husband could fight and die for my right to say
For my right to cry
For my right to be angry
For my right to hurt
For my right to feel the way I do
Your rights are not given to you by the grace of God
They are given by the blood of patriots
They are given with the lives of loved ones
Remember when you are out there slamming our own military
They're out there fighting and dying for your right to hate them

You Go, Grrl!!! You have every right to rant and rave...and you have done it extremely well.. I can truly understand your plight....It gets me so mad to read some of the things I have been reading and hearing....
Your soldiers have my support 100%.....from way down here on my little, insignificant island...
Hugs to you and your BBYGrrl...
Jenni |

| This is a wonderful emotional write ... maybe it will make thoughtless people realise their words hurt ... and that there are many sitting at home with their hearts in their mouths worried sick for their loved ones. I hope Phantom stays safe ... Jan |

| a strong poem, strongly felt and substantial in its content, speaking personally, i am against this war but that does not mean i am against your husband or any one who is american or iraqi for that matter but i have serious reservations about the motivations and methods of the politicians involved and it distresses me to see the destruction that is being caused by these peoples power games, love to you and all yours |
