Independence

I In the rich brown earth, a deeper pain conceals N Not just the myth, of war on foreign fields D Death's toll and the greater cost reveals E Each life, each loss, that paves our freedom trail P Pride reminds us of the sacrifice E Each mother's tears should not be theirs alone N Nations rich in history's reward D Demand that freedom is the final word ! E Every heart must keep the names alive N Never let the guard down or the pride C Choose to honor all who fought and died E Exercising freedom's gifts, which is our Godly right ! _________________________________________ 7/17/15 Acrostic Contest "Celebrate Independence" Sponsored By Kim Merryman
