Many brave souls lived before now
Unwept and unknown by their face.
Lost somewhere in the distant night
Tell a poet chronicles their grace.
True bravery is shown by performing
Without witness what one might be
Capable of before the world
Without any or all to see.
How great the brave who rest in peace
All blessings from heaven to Earth.
They gave our country but their best
Those destined to be brave from birth.
The Lord can close doors no man can open
And open doors no man can close.
It's up to us to prove our Heavenly worth
By our lifetime example of the path we chose.
If President George Washington was alive and well
And spoke to America of troubles we face today.
I wonder what he might faithfully suggest
And would we heed to anything he would say?
Along with our brain God gives us a heart and soul
Which possess the power to hate, prosper, love or forgive?
Faith teaches us to rely on divine law and self-worth
Trusting God's wisdom to show us how to live.
