Dear Henry,
You never knew me,
But your work transcended
Far beyond Walden Pond.
Two centuries later,
I find your spirit in my words.
I hear the wind through your cabin walls.
I trust that a man in the woods speaks louder than a crowd.
Thank you for being the spark that lit my voice.
You wrote my soul before I was born,
You dared my mind to try.
I'm honored to keep your spirit alive.

Dear Henry,
You never knew me,

I trust that a man in the woods speaks louder than a crowd.
Thank you for being the spark that lit my voice.
You wrote my soul before I was born,
You dared my mind to try.
I'm honored to keep your spirit alive.
