[bodytext] => They fly - their rescue missions constantly For those by earthquake and disaster struck, And killer waves of merciless a sea Despite the war on terror in Iraq. One hundred flights a day without a pause,- The navy sea hawks race as they ascend To save the smitten,- holy is their cause, In foreign often hostile people’s land. And lo! - the Abraham Lincoln firmly stands As Rescue Beacon on the open sea, To send out choppers to the scattered lands, Struck down and battered by calamity. They rescue, cull, deliver, heal and feed, They quench the thirst of many a Muslim throat, And see but fellowman in desperate need,- Marines and troopers do the work of God!. They heal- bring doctors without borders, - speed To even save the lives of hidden foes, Regardless of all dogma faith and creed, In great compassion with a peoples‘ woes. American-Australian troopers haste To rescue, save and feed the multitude In furlough paradise’s Land of Waste; Observe dear world, to learn what’s great and good.! In spite of hidden enemies they speed Stretched now so thin, yet utter no complaints, Behold dear world, bow low I pray and meet Uncanonized your wondrous latest Saints.! © Elizabeth Dandy [comments] => 2 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Elizabeth_Dandy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )
