I Applaud...

I commend the apple fallen on Newton’s head,
Man’s gravity realized with a Nature’s gift.
I rejoiced in the waves picked up by Marconi,
Human voice felt for its living presence.
I was thrilled by the tungsten glittered thro’ Edison,
Light shone across the darkness.
I flew with the flying machine of Wright Brothers,
Man’s proximity counted with knowledge of speed;
But I APPLAUD the Blessings from Above
Who hath built man in His Image.
