"The Battle of Saratoga"

There once was a battle on Oct. 7th, 1777; they say
That if America had lost, it would be different today.
Winning The Battle of Saratoga in the countryside,
Helped France to decide to take The American Side.

America proved they were a force to be reckoned.
Gone were notions of 'Sunshine Patriots' who fought.
This was the time that true patriots were beckoned.
Forged by fiery trial, brave men fought as they ought.

George Washington feeling this would be a big battle,
Added the militia to The Continental Army's Fighters.
Vast numbers of patriots on their horses put a saddle.
British Gen Burgoyne's ranks lacked true 'do-righters'.

The Hudson River Valley was the scene of this action.
To control and divide it would bring British satisfaction.
British though faced a lack of food and re-enforcement.
What happened to ships that 3 months ago were sent?

In a single stroke of Providence by The God of Winds.
British Ships on the ocean were facing 'contrary wind'.
A journey that usually took one month, did take three.
As a result needed supplies and men, would not be.

God sometimes veils His Ways in a 'Sea of Disguise'.
This was the Lord's doing, welcome to Partiot's Eyes.
With one heart and one voice Americans expressed
The grateful feeling of their hearts, "God knows best."

Battle of Saratoga, came to be for doubters to see.
God's Victory sometimes comes One, two, three.
Things like this happen as men pray on their knees.
I ascribe it to The Ruler of The Wind Who oversees.
