Awaken the Sleeping Giant Behold the dawn of coming age when hammers fall for freedom's rage. Blessed the sound of trumpet's call that causes terror its perilous fall. Sand to silence the wicked cry as freedom's plight fills the sky. Run through the brambles, thickets and thorns. Run from the bull's principled horns. Trampling evil, severed night split with fire and patriot's light. Suffer the swift and steady advance as you witness the resolve of soiled lance. Heroes perpetuate our twilight fair, bearing monition to those fathering terror. Never to tire or falter in chase Never to surrender this precious place. Lady of liberty, immigrant mother Sheds tears of sorrow for fallen brother. Yet, she stands so proudly still. Attestation to our unbroken will. Strike our home! Your evil defend! You'll find iron resolve to effect your end. Copyright, Kevin V. Reese, 2004 |

Your patriotic spirit never sleeps, which is a true testament to your work. It's not just something you serve, you deliver, which is important in the definition of patriotism. "Love of and devotion to one's country." I slip sometimes. Thanks for following through with such strong and heartfelt constancy. Love, Reg |
