I had my 18 year old daughter drive me down to Carillon Park in Dayton - home of a lot of historical artifacts and a great train display. I originally wanted to try to find the Bald Eagles that nest there but with the park closed right now and not knowing where to look from the road, I grabbed some other pictures instead.
One of the more recognizable landmarks in Dayton is the tower that houses 50 bells which toll every 15 minutes

After I took a picture of her next to the sign describing the tower, I noticed she was staring at this door with the last three stanzas from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Christmas Bells poem
Longfellow Poem by Scott Baker, on Flickr
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."
I think the poem is still fitting today in some respects.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace
