The Sentinel

Published On: October 2, 2002  11:33, filed in Verse
Amid the dark night watches
And oer the lonely city
A sentinel keeps the vigil
Never forsaking duty

His gaze will never waver
Through the long dark night
Searching with all diligence
We should not suffer fright

Our sleep is slept untroubled
Our children play in safety
We give no thought to danger
We live our lives in beauty

This is all accomplished
By men of strength and honor
The sentinels of our nation
The guardians of our future<
