As we surround ourselves with the optimism
that comes from our natural goodness
serving the traditions of our eternal search of American humanity
let's remember our time is always fleeting
each minute put to solutions that heal, will in the long arch of time, create the continued fertile ground that sustains our primal liberties
that set us uniquely apart inserting us into the brightly lit path
of human decency in spite of
our profound failings and predictable flaws
