WARRIORS OF THE STORM So, off to join in battle, went tfie Warriors of the Storm . . . And on ttieir beasts of steel thiey struck a mighty form. They raised their spears of lightning to pierce the ebony sky To smite the roaring dragons who were bold enough to fly. They charged into wastelands to vanquish their ty- rant, foe. To find the elusive leader and cause him to bow low. Though a thousand times a thousand, the evil could not stop the rain. So the Warriors seized the king- dom and made it right again. anALS MA f, A SOLDIER ' S LAST LETTER ' The postman had delivered a letter, and it filled her heart full of joy, but she didn ' t know till she read it ' s contents, that it was the last one from her little boy. Dear Mom. was the way that it started ... I miss you so much, and, Mom, I didn ' t know till now, how much I really love you so . . . But, I ' ll prove it when this war is over and won. I ' m writing this down in a trench. Mom. So don ' t scold me if it isn ' t so neat. You know, the way you did when I came home with mud on my feet. The Captain just gave us our new orders and so we must carry them through. So I ' ll just finish this letter in the next trench I dig ... I love you. Mom. Then the mother ' s hand began to tremble and she tried hard to fight against the tears in her eyes . But, she couldn ' t be blamed, he didn ' t get a chance to sign his own name So she knew that her little darling had died, she knelt down by her bedside. And she prayed. Dear Lord, high above hear my plea to protect all the sons that are fighting tonight, and. Lord Keep America free. 136
