St. Peter stood outside the Golden Gates-
A white steed at his side-
Whose spotless coat shone like pure silver-
With diamonds in his eyes.
"Perhaps you would like to ride him in-
His name is Peace and Duty-
His mother’s name is Loyalty-
His father’s National Pride".
All these qualities you have shown-
You’re bound to form a bond-
He is yours for all you’ve done-
To make your country strong.
Once inside, you’re free to roam-
Those endless gentle hills-
Where all the grass is made of silk-
Where all the paths are gold.
Many friends will ride with you-
They wait impatiently-
All the ones who came before you-
Who fought to keep you free.
You’ve given God the credit-
For teaching you right from wrong-
My instruction from him are quite simple-
"President Reagan, welcome home". |
