[bodytext] => I stand in quiet awe and reverence when I think of those who have gone before. Be it on home shores or beaches far away About how all had one thing in common that bound them as nothing else could. I know nothing of heroes nor of warriors supreme I only know of true men and women committed to a cause to the end. The seven hundred who stood against the Legion of Rome's best at Masada The three hundred who stood against the two million at the Thermopylae The country that was overrun by by Empire after Empire yet still stands known to the world as Israel The hundred and sixty that stood against 4500 at Alamo Plaza In San Antonio, Texas These were the true “People of Iron”, not because of the training, nor of pride, but of resolve. The resolve of which history is made, not of a need of notoriety, that was the least of all the concerns, but of the need of freedom. No other human need can forge the bond that will solidify the wills of the many into the resolve of one for the betterment of all. No force on earth can withstand that resolve, and through it ordinary men and women have obtained the persona of hero and heroins though not sought by any of them. When their stories are told, you can do nothing but stand in quiet awe and reverence.

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. ©
