Determined Warriors Seventeen of their shipmates Paid the price, supreme Thirty-some more, a’hurting Like in some nightmarish dream. But, it wasn’t a bad dream Just the reality, of life When you go into harm's way In this world of war and strife. They gave their lives like those before them Who fight for truth and liberty For the safety of our country And countries too, across the sea. They sail upon the seven seas Months on end out on patrol And sometimes, so sadly Must pay a deadly toll. “It comes with the territory.” Is what some, may say But that doesn’t ease the pain Of the price they have to pay. 10-18-00 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |
