Tis Of Thee tears streak my skies
where once you soared so free
testament to the world
hero to me.
and I will never find resolve
to taste this bitter loss
the frailty of the human heart
the spirit of this cross.
to reach beyond: your steadfast goal
to bear new worlds for time
but losing life for sake of dream
bleeds beneath the rhyme.
we gave you to eternal skies
where all of life is born
and met you 'neath the trail of tears
while silently we mourn.
forever numbered seven
the world softly cries
you've joined the other seven stars
that brightly fill the skies.
