Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 " Letter From Lady Liberty " by: Raina Dodson, EMT-Paramedic Though you have stolen my tears, You have not touched my soul Though you have taken the lives of my children You have strengthened my spirit You have made heros stand And Americans remember Why we exist Who we are A lesson, perhaps, we needed to remember. Most crushing to your cause Is the gift of many Who, knowing death to be the truer possibility, Chose instead to protect and serve And gave their lives in sacrifice Unlike your dismal charade of glory in death My children attained the honor You so vainly envisioned Yours only served to condemn While mine served to strengthen Laugh while you can While I cry my tears of sorrow My anger will resolve My pain will be attended and my children will live And America, the land of the free, Home of the true brave, Will carry forth her dreams While yours settle to ashes. We are sleeping no more. R.E. Dodson Paramedic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
