(written by Ila Farrar-DiMino)
Where are citizens echoing
"Give me liberty, or give me death"?
Where is a statesman whose wisdom and courage
could cross a frozen Delaware to save an army and
a nation?
One declaring his signature boldly so a despot
was certain to see it?
Where is a statesman or woman whose integrity guides
his or her motives?
One who legislates for the National well-being, and not
for selfish personal gain?
Where is the statesman who lives and voices the spirit
of "This Hallowed Ground"?
Stands firm, placing honor before money and power?
Where is the statesman who lives by the principal "Of the
people, by the people, and for the people"?
One whose honor states "I don't agree with you, but I will
defend your right to say it!"?
God, give us statesmen!
Directions in hand and with a great master plan..
Locations to see were found on internet, duly did I scan..
Most all said.. Including you.. Go! God Bless and Amen..
Curious me, I traveled far.. to reveal a mystery..
Wished to leave a mark in time.. make history..
I lived it all.. pains, prestige~ a modicum of glory..
Though many souvenirs.. Gems.. I do still keep..
On journey’s.. many long nights.. alone did weep..
Your sweet memory present each time I sought sleep..
All evidence of my existence lies in Soul of you solely..
To find scriptural proof easy.. all with us is “Holy“
You are my Soulmate.. My center, my core.. truly..
My hearts map clear.. as arteries flowing through..
Showing what I hold dear and now know remains true..
All roads, will lead me back home.. to ever loving you..
