Carrie Richards Poet Acrostic

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 !
