The Blessings of America

country as flag
The evening falls
silently
into a dance
beside a fire,

... blue,

gone to orange,

red,

and yellow,

... as white smoke rises
into our dreams of wild horses
and the courage
that leads.

All are welcome here
from now on,
until the deep forever brings us home.

The words of Brothers
and Sisters.

The colors
of
red, yellow,
... black,
and white.

They touch all places
of the heart.

Searching for home,
as they lie wounded
and bleed... the blood
that is red!

Blooded,
torn and wounded,

they lie alone
... beside us.

Touch our hearts
in the last moment.

... and die
for us.


We know them
as they journey
toward home...
... together.

This is the legend of Always!

All gone toward
the love
of a home
together,

and
... Forever.

Our Brothers,
... Our Sisters,
our Warriors

gone home.

Stand and Salute
the colors of
America.

Red,
Yellow,
Black,
White.

This is the Legend of Always!
