Good Evening.
GEORGE WASHINGTON

Out of their Country's need they called him forth
From the far frontier and the virgin soil
That marked his youthful skill; humble man,
Yet with kingly MEN; tactul In war,
And wanting little praise ardent yet klnd,
His every word inspired respect from ALL
His zeal was as the blue Potomacs wave
That spread in moving splendor near MS NOME.
The valleys OF Virginia and the hills
He knew for there he learned in Natures school,
OF rock and stream, of forest bird, and flower
The lowly things of earth he loved and stroVe
Ever to make unloyely things more fair
And thus he came-this Man of Destiny,
Forgetting SELF and every loved pursuit,
His highest ainl-to halt aggressions tread
And sharing all the burden of her grief
To lead his country into peaceful ways
So through the trying years of want and strife
That saw nation in the throes of birth,
In his strong hand her fate and glory lay;
And while he mourned ner sacrif1ce ana tears,
He saw in all the furtherance OF that plan
For which the fathers faced uncharted seas
Seeking upon this strange and rock-bound shore
Freedom of worship and to dwell in peace
His was the leadership that out OF time
Had come to break their ancient bondage,
And to build nation, grand and free!
Upon the bulwarks of Democracy
nation that all men might call their OWL
Who proved their worthneSs to claim her care
Who down the years would proudly lit unStalned,
The standard he had carried through the storm.
Heroes of history fall beside the way,
To live again in marble, bust or scroll,
But deep in every breast he is enslrined;
In every land the name of Washington
Immortal as the ages shall endure!
Valorous In warm peace, a Nations Prldel
Man. Soldier President, He has No Peer!
