[MNJohnnie]

Through the heat of the day their hope burns bright

After long years of death, despairer and darkness

Hope is kindling

As with any birth, there is blood and pain and suffering

Doubts and fears wage war with hopes and dream

Councils of cowardice vanquished by the courage of the free

And people around the world, smile secret delight as freedom's newest baby takes it's first tentative steps today,

while Uncle Sam's proud children add the name "Iraq" to their forefathers proud battle flags.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning to you.

Wonderful poem for Iraqi freedom.
