Sunshine -- for Freedom Day regarding the Constitution of the United States: Upon the warp of sacrifice They etched the scene of liberty Wove within it hues of us, And authored the masterwork with “We...” Oh, the hours quill and parchment spent. Through blood-run wars, great meaning lent, To shape words’ purpose with design Creating tapestry of heart and mind. And wisely was this treasure lined Leaving space for changing times. Our fathers’ gift, ours to hold. Now, it’s our time to be bold. |

Thanks, Sadie -- it's for Sunshine's Freedom Day presentation -- I think the deadline is very near -- perhaps you can contribute something, too?? |

Particularly touching in this moment when we reflect as a people about all of honored traditions and the purpose of our intent. Quite enjoyed the read. TD |
