Day 168:
Dec 15-Today was the day when the Bill of Rights became a part of the U.S. Constitution. History shows that these first ten amendments gave more power to the people, and hailed throughout the world as the first sign for people to come to a free land. A poem now for this special document. Title Freedom Pages

Freedom Pages

People with power
Government of the people
Freedom remembered
A law for, by, and of the people
Let Freedom ring!

 Another item for your consideration: Today is also National Wreath Day, where those who lost their lives defending this country had wreaths placed upon their graves. The killings in Connecticut also brought this poem into focus, for the brave teachers who defended the innocent children. Wreaths were placed in special prominence at the school for remembering those that died.

Remembering those that fell

Lay the wreath and ring the bell.
The brave sacrificed for all
Salute who answered the call.
