Poem George Washington...Poem
‘Tis splendid to live so grandly
That, Long after you are gone,
The things you did are remember And recounted under the stars, To live so brave and purely
That a nation stops on its way
And once a year with banner and drum, Keeps it’s thought of your birth day. 'Tis splendid to have a record So white and free from
stain
That, held to light, it shows
no blot, Though tested and tried
again; That. from
age to age forever Repeats
its story of love Your
birthday lives in a nation’s heart,
All the other days above
And this is Washington’s glory, A
steadfast soul and true,
Who stood for his country’s hour
When
his country’s days were few.
And now when its days are many, And its flag of stars is flung
to the breeze
In defiant challenge,
His name on every tongue Yes, it’s
splendid to live so bravely,
To be so great and strong, That you
memory is ever a source To rally the foe
of wrong; To live so
proud and purely That your
people pause in their way,
Add year by year, with banner
and drum We
will always remember your birth day.
To be continued…
Dr. Karl Wallace D.D.S.
