Haunting:

Forty times the bells rang
Doom,
Death,
Despair
Forty times it rang,
First by single strike
Then the crystallic strike sounded
It’s final lonely blast

Again the bells rang, Forty times,
Ominous black the bells did cease
As luminescence commenced increase:
Hope,
Life,
Freedom,
Chime forth, the call of Christ
Redemption for the used and jaded
Freedom for those indentured to sin
Hope traded for despair
Life beyond.... eternally clear


Mr. President Reagan: here is my tribute. I never knew you other than your image in on fuzzy screen and pictures posted in magazines. May God welcome you in His arms, servant and friend of Emmanuel.... friend and brother in Christ. You did for this country what was meant to be, truly leading this one nation, under God, indivisible... with liberty and justice for all.
