American Coat Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

D-awn nineteenth January
O-pens the day with light;
M-an in American coat
I-s leaving the cold night.
N-ew morn has broken,
A-merican coat cancels the pain;
D-ress that brings warmth
O-bliterates the chill of
R-ain.

L-et the gray uniform
I-ntroduce the one wearing;
G-ood attire aims to tell
D-ark departs in the morning.
A-llow not the rugged wind to blow and rock the boat;
O-n one special occasion, he wears an American coat.
