Star Spangled Memory

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord wrapped in the laughter 
and the sounds of a five year old.

Truth is marching as I witness commencement exercises across the university 
law campus.

Bombs bursting in air has a truer sound and a detailed message as I reread the 
letters from my son who serves his country overseas.

This is where the real pledge of allegiance is silently read.
