Before there was an America
 
Before there was EVER a Washington DC

or a valley Forge

or Bunker Hill

There was Coventry England

and a TENTH of July

I had often read of the Legend long before The Time of Washington

SEVEN FULL CENTURIES Before The Time of Washington.

The LEgend of Lady Godiva

I remember reading books of her legend as a boy.

And I was moved every time I woudl read of her.

This brave soull of the North of England.

How She, Clothed in only her skin and her hair

mounted dear Aethenouth her beloved stallion

and answered the challenge of challenges

and became the greatest rider in all of history

and took the greatest ride.

One she knew would end either in humiliation



despair


or eternal and invincible glory....


I love you..........

my beloved and beautifiul heroine....


Your Servant and Spirit Son



Your Own.



'Master , you send us out as sheep among wolves.

Then be wise as serpents. And Harmless as Doves'


(Jesus Christ and the Twelve Disciples)




May an omnimerciful god extend to you His Greatest of all blessings





Lewis Findley

Port Wentworth
