Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

This was very hard...I have been working on it since I saw the first Acrostic posted.....very challenging.....i think I could have done better...but decided to post anyway...Please enjoy.. I sort of left it open to WONDER about at the end....

Integrity above all
Newfound freedom
Diversity from the fall
Enticing your soul
Pronouncing you whole
Endearing to your mind
New worlds to find
Dividing the tides
Escaping the storm
Newly reborn
Calculating risk
Entering the abyss

Independence is so many things to us all
tearing down the berlin wall
fighting for justice and peace on earth
these are the prices of freedoms worth
so when you hang your hat at home
remember the dream
the country
the men
remember when.......

Julie :)

This is not something i have ever attempted but you did such a fine job on this JulieAnn.
It says so much and from one who spent years in a military environment words like these are always appreciated

Wow Julie Excellent poem, really enjoyed this.

JulieAnn, your acrostic is just perfect the way it is, well written with wonderfully expressed thoughts!  

Take care,
