Always Be On the Alert

A-lways be on the alert, 
F-ree from any strife; 
R-emain awake and open 
Y-our eyes to fragile
L-ife.

C-areful watching is needed, 
A-ugust eighteenth Friday; 
B-ecause of the great danger, 
A-long the road or way.
L-ook at the warning signs, 
U-nder the sky in the desert; 
N-ever be dormant or numb; 
A-lways be on the alert.
