Trafalgar

Steadfast we stand, defiant ...against great odds

Prepared to take arms and with grace prevail

The enemies have joined hands ...to destroy our unity  

Though outnumbered ...we are not outmanned

We fight for liberty ...for country, home and family

Though we may be from worlds ...apart

We fight as one ...the principalities we serve

Are the self+same ...for eternity

We represent the will to be free

The cumulative intelligence, experience,

Good will and spirit

Though in our past we may have been mortal enemies

We have this opportunity to make amends

For a simple course of being ...freedom to effect change

For those of us  ...whom death looms ahead

...who can say...

If it is to be our time

Die well

We will have this day

Or none
