On Joining the Daughters of the American Revolution, 1993
(Written 04.06.1995 For Mama, As We Are a Legacy)
In ninety-three, the year my path began,
At twenty-one, completing history's plan
.
I walked into the fold, the Chapter known as Pulaski,
In Georgia's heart, a heritage was laid on me.
The tie that binds is threefold, strong, and clear:
God, Home, and Country, banishing all fear.
My mother's light, a leader at the helm,
Called me to service in this hallowed realm.
I claimed my place, the third upon the scroll,
A new young keeper of the Patriot soul.
My ancestor stood tall, beneath the gun,
A proud defender when the war was won.
Against the crown of England, brave and stern,
That sacred gift of freedom they did earn.
Their courage flows through me, a current deep,
A solemn, cherished promise I will keep.
The Daughters of the American Revolution,
A living faith in freedom's resolution.
To honor God, to guard the Family's name,
And hold the future of the Country's flame.
My legacy, a badge of utmost pride,
The Pulaski Chapter, where my heart resides.
A faithful thread in the design of time,
Repeating prayers for liberties sublime.
