Hear the Thunder

Hear the Thunder

As we prepared to mount our bikes,
He asked, “Tell me why you ride.
There’s nothing that you few can do
For these soldiers who have died.”

“You’re wrong” I answered back to him,
” Yes, they all have paid the toll,
But we can help people remember
When they hear the Thunder Roll.”

“These men and women served their country,
their deaths were not by choice.
They fulfilled their solemn duty
And now we are their voice.”

“Some returned in shrouded coffins.
They served and gave their all.
Some went to serve in foreign lands,
And never returned at all.”

“So we ride to offer honor to
All those who paid this toll.
We ride so you’ll remember them,
When you hear the thunder roll.”

2007 Bill “uglicoyote” Davis
USN 1967-1971
