The Eagle Awakens --Dolores Fruth
The mighty eagle once again Has wakened from his sleep. A foe so sinister and cruel Has caused us all to weep. Our tears will not console us As long as devils ride. They steered our planes into the sites Where many thousands died. The searing flames will melt the steel That crumbles round our feet. The devastation tears our hearts But doesn’t bring defeat. The eagle spreads his mighty wings And we unite as one. God give us strength to fight once more Until the battle’s won.

Labor Day -Dolores Fruth
On Labor Day we celebrate The ones who built our land. They labored hard in field and mill Dreaming of something grand. Their labor spread from shore to shore. As they planned for better days. Their tireless energy was strong With little time for praise. The workers came in many forms, Both men and women, too, Protectors of the ones they loved, Ever nurturing me and you. We honor now the many souls Who made our nation great. Relentlessly they labored on To stabilize our fate. Today we will remember Their dedication true. So give a hug or a salute To a laborer close to you.

The Ghost Writer - Dolores Fruth
God is the author of my verse. He wakes me in the night He dictates rhymes into my head As I sit down to write. I am his servant, don’t you see. I don’t deserve the fame He gave to me this talent And now I praise His name. I pass the verses on to you As I gratefully confess That as a humble ghost writer I know I chose the best.

Non Fiction Or Fiction? - Dolores Fruth ((July 2021)
I used to read biographies Or history books galore; Now I have changed my attitude. I cherish them no more. Biographies are filled with trash With a sensational bend. The history texts now change the facts To please the current trend. Now I am reading fiction books That help me to forget The current events or politics That had me so upset. I find adventures every day And set my mind at ease. No longer do I read and fret. My life is now a breeze.
