Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Line Drawn in the Sand

"To draw a line in the sand" be

Remembered in the Alamo,

A battle lost to destiny

By Texans in a valiant show.

Colonel Travis did draw a line

In the sand and did tell his men

That any wishing could decline,

But crossing over would begin

Their final battle to defend

Against the enemy this place,

To fight until the very end

The fate for honor each would face.

Texan heroes crossed line in sand

To die in Alamo's last stand.
