When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
Lennon/McCartney - The Beatles
To those silent sentinels,
the guardians of the night,
who insured our peaceful homes
and sheltered our children from fright.
We give our thanks and praise
for the sacrifice they bore,
and pledge always to remember
their gift of service in war.
Gerard A. Geiger March 23, 1996
