Remembering Moses

In listening to his final words

words of awareness

The very words of Moses

knowing his fate before him

that he would not cross

that he would die where he was

not in the promised land

Remembering Moses

echoing today, present

within us, in Washington

across this nation

as we honor one

and applaud another

a Joshua before us

Standing resolute

ready for battle

to continue the dream

for much is left undone

the goals still the same

one nation, undivided

still far from our reach
