Listen! Do You Hear What I Hear?
IT'S THERE
in the quiet of the early morning
Beyond the humming of an appliance
Absorbed by the coo of the mourning dove
Yet it rings so loud it shatters what seems to be silence across the globe and remains unheeded by many.
IT'S THERE
in the center of a family
Beyond the hubbub of a busy morning
Absorbed by the last goodnight.
Yet it rings so loud it shatters what seems to be silence across the globe and remains unheeded by many.
IT'S THERE
in the noise of traffic
Beyond the noise of horns and brakes
Absorbed by the humming of motors.
Yet it rings so loud it shatters what seems to be silence across the globe and remains unheeded by many.
IT'S THERE
in the business of work
Beyond the noise of communication and equipment
Absorbed by the barrage of productivity.
Yet it rings so loud it shatters what seems to be silence across the globe and remains unheeded by many.
IT'S THERE
in the solace of evening
Beyond the beauty of a sunset
Absorbed by the deepness of sleep
Yet it rings so loud it shatters what seems to be silence across the globe and remains unheeded by many.
IT'S THIERS'
the call of honor
Beyond the protection of armour
Absorbed by the courage of a soldier,
It rings so loud in the hearts of our young and brave who answer without question,
The call of duty for the love of freedoms ring,
FOR ALL
WITH GRADITUDE TAKE A DEEP BREATH OF FREEDOM- JULY 4TH 2012
