Analysis of When Their Names Are Written In Gold
When their names are written in gold, we're told,
Of stories and legends from days of old.
In honor and glory, their deeds shine bright,
A testament to courage, a radiant light.
Through history's pages, their legacy soars,
In triumph and valor, their spirit implores.
Each name engraved, a tale to be told,
When their names are written in gold.
Warriors of justice, poets of rhyme,
In the annals of time, they stand the test of time.
Inscribed in eternity, their stories unfold,
When their names are written in gold.
They've left their mark, a profound trace,
In the hearts of many, they find their place.
In valor and virtue, their stories are told,
When their names are written in gold.
So let us remember, with hearts bold,
The heroes and heroines, the brave and the bold.
Their names in our hearts, forever enfold,
When their names are written in gold.
