LION HEART - PAT TILLMAN

Contributed by Elizabeth_Dandy on Wednesday, 28th April 2004 @ 05:11:05 AM in AEST
Topic: Tributes

Hail Lion Heart, Pat Tillman, - we salute!
Oh hero unique, strong that did rebut
The lure of mint and wealth and did resist
A life of ease - Pat,- the Idealist.

A champion, Pat Tillman, model rðle,
Profound, so big and lofty is your soul;
America! America! - take pride!
Look up henceforth to see your beacon bright.!.

Who walked away from millions,- he despised
Cheers, accolades and fame alike the Christ;
He walked away from honors and acclaim,
And spurned career and wealth - he overcame!

Beyond all earthly titles, Pat you are
Beyond the Army Ranger,-Football star,
You walked away from millions, ease and fame
In sacrifice, but heaven sings your name

To serve your country and thus serve us all,
You spurned and scorned renown terrestrial,
Dismissed a fine and lucrative career,
To be the battling soldier brothers near.

You changed your sports garb for the uniform,
To serve in Operation Mountain Storm,
To fight against Al Qaeda -Taliban
In no-where’s land, the wild Afghanistan.
.
Pick up your pens! - -pay Lion Heart tribute!
Who was for our earth by far too good;
Though highest honors graced Pat Tillman’s past,
He’s crowned with laurels now that ever last.

Toll bells and peal!- Old Glory fly half staff!
But high up to the sky flies grateful love;
Permit your dear ones not too long to cry
For they are loved, and love can never die!.

We celebrate your sacrifice dear Pat,
And others’ sacrifices ultimate,.
May they as light beams shine from shore to shore
And heavens torches bright for evermore.

This is a bit odd, as someone who's on the record [thenextwar.blogspot.com] as opposing much of this "War On Terror". I see Mr. Tillman as a model for being willing to stand on and for one's convictions.

Check out Requiem For A Guardian(Pat Tillman Re-Mix).

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
