OUR NATION IS TRIED
BUT WILL REMAIN TRUE
ALWAY TO HONOR
THE RED,WHITE,AND BLUE.

WE STAND EACH ALONE
AND YET HAND IN HAND
TO STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH
IN OUR GLORIOUS LAND.

OUR LOSSES ARE GREAT
BUT WE CANNOT GET DOWN
LET'S FIGHT THEM SO BRAVELY
FROM AIR,SEA AND GROUND.

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR
WATCH OUT FOR YOUR FRIEND
FOR WE ARE A NATION
THAT WILL RALLY AND STAND.

YOU CAN TRY IF YOU WANT TO
BLOW US AWAY
BUT YOU'LL NEVER DESTROY
THE GREAT U.S.A.
Sandra Spratley

CROSSING THE BAR

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam.
When that which drew from the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.

For, though from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

Alfred Tennyson
