Old Guard

Fine moments come after harsh times, Observe the ways that conflicts shape; Urge frames the sum to wrestle chimes, Now meet each day as lightning drapes; Do forge a will where heart knows mind, Ignite a dream that matters most; Note vivid feel with facts aligned, Give voice to themes that hard work boasts; Feed a sure pride in the people, Ask for mandate to set things right; Toughen the hide as hunger swirls, Help forge a state with healthy might; Each race in place can feel esteem, Rich time and space to live fond dream.
