Victory Ribbon

 The ribbon is cut

The race is on. 

The longer you last 

The more you've won. 

So don't be slow,

But grave and true. 

And don't give up. 

Just be you. 

To only God

Your worship be

For Him your soul 

Eternally

Be faithfully

Indebted, but

 to fellow man

Your life for his,

Love at command.

To your family be

The beacon of light

To carry hope

 through this night. 

You can't explain 

a flame that shines

Through oceans current 

Not the mind

Of man, nor God,

So by your might

Lower your pride

Highten your sight.

The purest eyes

 are strongest, yet

Your love is hardest

To forget

If once you died

For love of one

And lived again

To see the sun.
