Silver Dollar

 Silver Dollar 

In the crisp air's embrace, a silver dollar gleams,

A symbol of honor, a tribute it beams.

An officer's path, a journey's proud flight,

Marked by this coin, shining bright.

In the palm's salute, the weight of my vow,

Echoes of valor, commitment I avow.

The sky's vast expanse, my domain unfurled,

A silver dollar, a promise to the world.

With wings that carve through heavens high,

I fly my Black Hawk 'neath the azure sky.

A covenant forged in honor and grace,

A Captain's flight into hallowed space.

Embrace the wings, the valor they hold,

A salute to duty, a tale to be told.

As silver meets sky, in union they sing,

My journey begins, on valor's wing.
