A Child For Freedom
Thomas C Henshaw 1618 (England) – 1700 (England)
A child have I for the family tree
A child have I sitting on my knee
A child have I tall and straight
A child have I to love and appreciate
A child have I to sacrifice
A child have I to pay the price
A child have I for Americas needs
A child have I for heroic deeds
A child have I for freedoms call
A child have I to fight and fall
A child have I no more than another
A child have I for the flag to cover
A child have I for freedom
Thomas C Henshaw
