The following is being posted under my NEWS. A poem I wrote 17 years ago just got some new recognition. Here is what happened.

Mr. Hyland,
I read your poem, "Let Freedom Ring" and I enjoyed it very much. I have a Christian website, Planting His Seeds, and I would like to ask your permission to use your poem on my site, as part of my 4th of July messages. I would list you as the author and include a link to your website ( or this site) and would send you a link to the finished page. It's a great poem, one that I would like to share with my readers. Thank you.
blessings,
Rick Harris

Tom,
here is the finished page for "Let Freedom Ring". I hope you like the graphic set and music I chose for this very moving poem. Thank you again for allowing me the use of your poem.
WOW! Well Done! The color contrast with gold fonts on a black background is quite pleasing.
As I read my own poem, I was almost taken back in time. Although I feel proud to be so acknowledged, in the shadow of His Seeds, it is a humbling experience.
Why? Any possible talent I may have - came from HIM!
For some odd reason, my Apple does not play the music - could you tell me what song is playing?
Thank you again for this tremendous honor.
May God Bless you and yours on this INDEPENDENCE DAY Celebration.
