Analysis of Valley’s Forged in Brandywine
Johnny Sirlin 1986
Wayward wonderer without a compass.
No star as guide from the cloud above us.
Less traveled.
No footsteps to follow.
Fear no evil and rise above it.
Valley’s Forged in Brandywine.
A toast to Valhalla, to peace of mind.
In time.
All footsteps are forgotten.
I’ll walk this path and live for the fallen.
