Steady, Strong, and Substantial
The word proclaimed in stone
The message a call to remembrance
a heartful hymn of thanks
Steady, Strong, and Substantial
The word proclaimed in stone
All honor and great glory
to those who are proclaimed
Steady, Strong, and Substantial
The word proclaimed in stone
Long shout their feats of daring
and prove courage was displayed
Steady, Strong, and Substantial
The word proclaimed in stone
Between the dawning and evening
announce what they have done.

This simple verse came to mind as I thought of the monument dedicated at Bentonville Battlefield in North Carolina. The Stone is the monument and the proclamation is the listing of the men who fought.
