To the West
In America’s vast heart an ember’s kept
And sometimes we may slumber to its burning.
Yet times have come to wake for what has slept,
To remember myths and truths... and souls returning.
In Washington’s moist skies of mourning grey
Salutes have thundered to a good report--
As clouds have wept for him who’s passed away--
For good endures, though all our time is short.
All Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Princes
May hold their reigns awhile, but all will bend
To Providence, Who will seek evidences,
That each was just, and humble in the end.
Now in the air, a President rides West
To the edge of sunset, peace, and well earned rest.

I'll be driving up to view President Reagan's final journey home shortly,
but wanted to leave this with you first. Regards, and God Bless

Where are you gonna hang?
Seems like we should have a FR vigil at the library after he is buried.
