If I could weave my words

In a laurel for each feat

And for every act of courage

I could place a gilded leaf…

If for every silent offering

You gave in sacrifice,

A wreath of honor could be made--

It never would suffice…

It could never match the gift

You gave with strength and grace,

Or the depth of your commitment

For the freedom we embrace.

If I could weave these words

In an honored, golden wreath,

I’d add each leaf in reverence

Then I’d lay it at your feet…
