LAURA
(Dedicated to Laura Bush)
So far it becomes from lifes intended paths/ Slowly we become what we are destined to be/ Unassuming smile from a librarian from the south/ Who Stole a mans heart away
What visions of the future did she see/ Quiet life under Texas trees/ Where birds sing quietly in the breeze/ Rolling meadow of flowers sweet fragrance
Laura your life was meant for greater things/ First lady of texas/ A grace few have seen/ You now take center stage
Thrust into the national spotlight of politics/ Soon your husband becomes president/ The day now comes where your causes will be justified/ Speak your convictions of education for all
This day is like no other we have known/ Who could have imagined how far the terrorists would go/ Twin towers lie in ruin,Pentagon smoking and on fire/ The heroics of a american jet who willingly gave their lives in a pennsylvania field/ Capital dome might have felled destroying all within
Remember you as america does/ Standing firm and proud with determination in your eyes/ Comforting the millions watching on/ Pain and anquish clear upon your face/ On that dark and terrible September day
I saw something much more/ Love for all your fellow americans just been slain/ Rememberence in your heart of what families must bear/ Grief of terrible loss that seemed to be everywhere
At that moment I knew you were different/ Love for country and all who dwell by gods will/ A noble first lady to be proud of/ Who brought back class to Pennsylvania Avenue/ As americans we can only love her for that/
