When the Devil Dances

by John Ringo

 Call me not false, beloved, If, from your scarce-known breast So little time removed, In other arms I rest. For this more ancient bride, Whom coldly I embrace, Was constant at my side Before I saw thy face. Live, then, whom Life shall cure, Almost, of Memory, And leave us to endure Its immortality. — Rudyard Kipling “The Bridegroom” Epitaphs of the War

Dedicated to:

Thomas Burnett, 38, father of three, and all the other warriors of flight 93.

They died that others might live.
