A beautiful story and memorial told in a personal experience way. Thanks for sharing this and glad I found this 😁! 🎖️🇺🇸🚂🚉.
I love trains and as a kid thought I'd be a conductor on the Ny subway system.
Thanks for your story for the Bard's Hall July 2025 contest. You did a good job incorporating the photo prompt into your story. There were good emotional elements in the story that tapped into the heartstrings. The story was sweet, inspirational and ended on a hopeful note. Well done!
Excellent story you have written. As I looked at the picture, I could see the inspiration coming. What could be better than having the same birthday as our wonderful country. Truly enjoyed reading it.
My father's fathers, first came to America back in 1607, and we have been living and dying for our country ever since. My 8th great-grandfather, John Thomas Clark, gave his all in 1623 in an American Indian attack outside what was Jamestown.
In times of need, I know Who to turn to –
My Savior holds my trembling hand.
Jesus walks with me ev’ry dark night through –
He never fails to understand.
He came, he conquered, waters parted,
And He's here to stay
He won my loss, He paid my cost,
He'll never, ever break.
I am never going “downstairs” – I will praise, I will praise
He saved me because He cares – I will praise, I will praise.
Love me, take me and make me holy
Wash me, enrobe me – you should see the view up here!
Wake me when the circle is unbroken
Wake me when misfortune is unspoken
God's grace is more than sufficient for us all
Trust Him when He says we are invincible…
Inspired by and carefully patterned after the 2024 Imagine Dragons song Gods Don't Pray. As an ID fan, I know where the defiant, faithless tone of their song comes from. It's one I've been obsessed with since it came out, impressed by the precisely measured verses; easy, infectious melody; and overdramatic poetic angst. This poem is not intended as a parody, but rather a respectful reimagining, a response, and a hymn. My dual nature embraces both sides of the coin.
