GHOST OF A PATRIOT


  In 1775, back in a revolutionary time, a man picked up 
  His gun,


  Leaving his home to fight and defend the land he worked 
  Hard for.


  A King's army would travel across the sea to take a certain 
  Freedom away,


  Boston harbor, where cannonballs would fly across a dark 
  Nght sky.

  Many would lay dead as  battle did rage on, Dragoons 
  Invaded our land,


  A patriot, one man who in the end would be remembered 
  By few.
               

  There was a fight in him as great as any other in this war 
  On farmland,

   Like many others, a man with a family, wife, children, 
  and friends.

   This man perhaps went by the name of Jonathan, not to 
  Be remembered today,

   He did die for his country way back in 1775, a patriot with 
  A life.


   Does he wander along the thirteen colonies, this ghost of 
  A patriot?
