Ode To George Washington
Diane De Han
Gen. Washington, I beg your pardon
I know you’d rather be tending your garden
on Mount Vernon.
But I thought you ought to know
That most today would never go
With you to Trenton.
We’ve lost our way more ways than one
We’re trying to change what you already won
A voice, vote and freedom.
Happy Independence Day! Be thankful for what our country has given you!
Be grateful you know what’s of value in public life, and you’re striving to be a good caretaker of this country in some way!
Thank you, God, for people who honor our country. Marc had the values of the American founding fathers etched into his soul. What a strength he was! Miss you, darling!
