The Brave Fight

In the cold of the night
Stood the men in the fight.
Their clothes all in shatters;
Their shoes all in tatters
They stood in fright.

The sky was bright with colors,
The dead on the dirk with crimson collars
These valiant men stood and fought.
For they knew that-
With blood was this country bought.

Our flag, with it’s stars and stripe
Waved above the men in the night.
Their only hope, they all knew
Was God, who would help them win this feud.

The cannon boomed loud
And the men fought hard.
For no one was a coward;
They all did their part.

And when the sun filled the sky,
When that awful night was nigh,
We arose the victors once again
For this battle was fought by brave men.

By Susanna R. Criss

The Hope Chest

In the corner of my room,
At the foot of my bed,
Sits a cedar wood box,
Where I keep books that I’ve read.

But not just books in that box,
But also towels and trays
Air looms, plates, and toys;
For my dear children some day.

But the items in this box
Are not just things, no.
They’re a legacy, an air loom
A gift to my children you know.

But this gift is nothing small.
It’s a lifetime of suffering,
Sacrifice, and love,
To my dear children, yes them all!

To my future husband, if God wills,
I’ll give this special crate.
Yet I’ll fill my chest with hopes and dreams
Till the coming of my mate.
By Susanna R. Criss
