Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Our prayers to the soldiers and families of the Fort Hood tragedy and all those who follow the path of the Warrior. For The Fallen by ce Binyon (adapted for country) With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, America mourns for her dead. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labor of the day-time; They sleep beyond their country's foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain. Humanity Healing will be hosting a teleconference Friday evening, 6 November, 9:00 EST, for those who wish to share prayers and healing. 1-270-400-2000, access code 707110 Much Metta, HH Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
