Poem of the Month
Every month, we update this page with a sample of Lon's original poems. These are all featured in Lon's published works.

Freedom
Freedom is a gift from God
Everyone needs to own
If freedom is not in your life
You must really feel alone
Freedom is a privilege in the USA
Hooray for our American pride
So if you decide to join us all
We will be there with arms open wide
Don't take freedom for granted
There are some who don't do their part
Most Americans will do what they can
We love our country with all of our heart
It doesn't come easy
This freedom we share
Many lives have been lost
As it seems so unfair
Those who were lost
Are the ones who care most
They were loyal to the end
And seldom would boast
We must do our duty
No matter how small
The power of living
Is there for us all
By Lon Cole
