The Pyle Inside

A dedication to a sister and brother who served for the good of our country

The midnight sky,

dotted with silent stars

each suffered in the service

each marked,

                                 devoted,

                                                                                  scarred,

Their superior labors,

                              eventful,

                                                                                private,

Each willingly encountered the house of bondage,

t  r e  m b   l in g

Now,

freedom,

no longer labored for

Every step of the way,

witnessing,

the devotion,

heroism,

suffering.

Some have been in public,

marked with heroism.

Because each has suffered in the service

You,

in the night,

witnessing the silent stars of freedom

in the midnight sky
