Offered as a tribute to 9/11 and to fighting soldiers everywhere, especially to those who have died...
Legacy
Listen closely, let us hear
Silent voices make their sound;
Those we've come to hold so dear,
Took their stand on fallen ground:
Twas our precious lives we gave
For our home from sea to sea;
Died so freedom might be saved
And for you....a legacy.
Will you hear our call and heed?
And for others learn to live?
Won't you learn how to receive,
Only as you choose to give?
Take each other by the hand?
Let your heart and deeds embrace
Freedom's gift throughout the land?
Fight good fights?...Run the race?
Freedom's gift and freedom's price,
Surely you will come to claim;
Legacy will then suffice,
And we'll not have died in vain...
Let their's be our legacy,
As to God, we pray and sing:
Bless our land from sea to sea...
Let Your precious freedom...ring!

Offered as a comforting embrace, a tribute, and a challenge, along with my prayers for continued healing from within...
