To the Founding Fathers | Filed under General
This is a holiday week and I am happy to share it with you! On this special holiday remember those who have and who continue to make Our Country what it is. May this month turn out to be very special for you and for the people in your life
To the Founding Fathers
Your light still lingers in our distant morning,
A star that we perceive across the void.
We chart our passage by your words, still burning
Long after your bright core has been destroyed.
No longer do we speak of “natural” rights,
Nor can we think that Reason guides our will.
We’ve been through far too many gruesome nights
To hope we have reduced our lust to kill.
Yet hope remains the engine of our fire,
Hope that someday all of us will be
Happy in the least that we require:
Well-fed, well-housed, safe, secure, and free.
This dream we still pursue. Though darkness come,
Your wisdom, hope, and courage through us run.

Have a great holiday, Vickie. Give ‘em heck. ‘Tis a great picture - eagles, flags - we have noble symbols. The poem is a bit of an empty bucket - sort of ’strawman meets platitude’. But what the heck, it rhymes.
