Sunday Poem ~ A Nation’s Strength

washington praying
Not gold, but only man can make
A people great and strong;
Men who, for truth and honor’s sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly –
They build a nation’s pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

by Ralph Waldo Emerson
