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.
