The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the [...]

Pledge of the Saved

I pledge to let haven’s grace fall upon me To accept valor reborn by the light of the Lord As a beacon I forsake all to follow As the humble servant evil can not bind With pure purpose and just cause I’ll walk with Kings and bow to the sky Where upon my knees heaven [...]
