An Impervious Fortress Called "Fort Knox"

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: October 9, 2011

Amanda's loyal family celebrates her release…

This Fort Knox has been defended
by a family's loyal love
that proved worth its weight in gold. But, we all know...
Blood flows thicker than does water.
Thus, Amanda's folks believed
you must wait for justice though it may be slow.

Now at last their hoped-for justice
has arrived in Italy
as Fort Knox withstood a four-year-long assault.
Curt and Edda (and their daughters)
forged a fortress-like appeal
quite convinced the crime was not Amanda's fault.

God in Heaven, we are grateful
that this co-ed has been freed.
Help her find the freedom You alone can give.
Overwhelm her with a knowledge
of Your grace beyond degree
so to face what's still to come and freely live.
