I paused today, quiet,
to read, once again,
those words of mettle,
of resolve, of hope, of our
faith.
Those words, part of the
thread
the Dream, the story that is
America
Those words written in
Philadelphia
proclaimed the sins of the
king.
The prayers of the colonies
the roots of our democracy
What we believe, what we
dream,
and what we celebrate once
more.
