American Bravery


With September eleventh’s remembrance now scarcely behind

and with losses of loved ones etched painfully deep in our mind

all our country’s best guardians stand ready, completely alert

to the treacherous, murderous plans to destroy and to hurt

us still more. So we count on those uniformed women and men

who protect us to be at their best, but we’re quite sure that when

an attack or fresh danger like ten years ago shows itself

we’ll see regular folks with strong hearts put their needs on a shelf

and with courage to spend, sleeves rolled up, do their ultimate best

to help too and to prove once again that we’re fit for the test.
