Sixty Six Years Ago Pearl Harbor
Was early on Sunday morning 1941
When from the sky terror came hidden by the sun
A sneak attack on a sleeping giant would change the world
Bombs dropped men die fire and smoke whirl
Wave after wave of planes flew in
Committing the world's greatest sin
Ships sank planes destroyed on the ground
Fear and horror spread all around
Many lives were lost in this senseless attack
Setting a course from which America could not turn back
Sixty six years ago, most who survived are now gone
Let us never forget, pass the tragic story on
How men of honor, strength and fortitude
Sacrificed all for this Country, me and you
Edwin J. Smith
