The thunder rolls the heavens above With lightning crash to push and shove Battered land and helpless face Yet to cause the soul to brace Reeling with the blows that strike The heart not torn with evil’s spike Resolve comes forth when overcome Letting be known they never won We count the dead and cry the tear Deep inside we hid the fear It takes the fear to know the brave With lump in throat so the flag will wave From Bunker Hill to lands far flung Liberty’s Bell has always rung Let the warning ring out clear We hold our lives and land quite dear Evil does come with snarling face To be crushed with God’s good grace Wave the flag with strong resolve Let children be led with no devolve For up to us, it is to be Over mountain, to prairie and to the sea To stand counted strong to never give in For sometimes we lose to learn to win |

Logan, you have been too long gone from the blue halls. We have missed you. When you do come home, you bring the wisdom of our years together as a Nation for all to hear, heed, and take comfort. Bless you... Now please, put the rucksack down, warm yourself by the fire, and stay for awhile... |
