Sisters of Liberty
Can thee not hear the ringing, in the
Heights beyond, the clanging of freedom’s bell!
It is the sounding of revolution, chiming in the
Distance, the echoing of liberation, spreading from
The alpine mountain tops to the farthest shore.
It shines as a beacon unto the world
Behold we are the sisters of liberty united,
Beneath the stars and strips of America, forever may
It wave in the winds of equality.
Mothers of sons, sisters of brothers, grandmothers
Of grandchildren, but we are so much more than
This!
Female soldiers of the hearth and home,
Domestic engineers raising a nation’s youth,
To believe faith’s divine right that all people
Are created equal, no matter their race, creed
Or religion.
We are the guardians of the future, the leaders
Of tomorrow’s promised, hands that yield to the
Heart and soul of right and wrong, the teachers
Of hope and tolerance.
In the name of respect, and the reverence of pride,
We cling to our beliefs with our heads held high.
For life is precious, a treasure beyond monetary
Value, our bared arms are made of flesh and bone,
Born from the inner womb within us all.
In memorial honor guard, many women
Have paid the high price of life over death,
These are the true sisters of liberty!
For they have fallen in the battle fields
Of the just, on the cause of freedom,
Here we pay them homages do, thank you
Honored ladies for your service, to your
Country, and on a nations behalf.
Let us all bow our heads in a moment of prayer,
For these women soldier’s, nurses, officers of
The American forces, who shed their blood,
Tears, and emotions on the distant shores
Beyond, their homeland’s welcoming embrace.
But aren’t we all sisters of liberty,
No matter what part we have played,
In this land of plenty, called the U.S.A.
A beacon stands tall in the harbor of freedom,
And her name is Lady Liberty, let her flames’
Torch forever shine, in all our hearts,
We whom are the ladies of liberty,
Bow unto she, this sacred monument to
Justice and liberation.
