Day is done
Gone the Sun
From the Lake
From the Hills
From the Sky
All is well
safely rest
God is nigh
Fading light
Dims the sight
And a Star
gems the sky
Gleaming bright
from afar
drawing nigh
falls the night
Thanks and praise
for our days
Neath the Sun
Neath the Stars
Neath the Sky
As we go
this we know
God is nigh
Sun has set
Shadows come
Time has fled
Scouts must go their beds
Always true
to the promise they made
While the light fades
from sight
And the stars gleaming rays
softly send
To Thy hands
We are souls, Lord, commend.
Thank you to everyone who answers the call to lay down his life for another, to understand that courage is the realization that something must be done, because something bigger than you is at stake. We tend to look at surrender as a sign of weakness, when it truly is an immense display of strength. It is honorable because it has incomparable value... a value that can never be properly of fittingly expressed with mere words.
I offer up a humble salute.
You know who you are.
