Never Fade

We will not fade away like vapor in the wind We will not give in, up, or out, but surely win Giving no less than our very best Let adversaries and oppositions charge We shall widen our stretch and our reach enlarge Giving no less than our very best Our descendants shall beam with pride Because we never bowed to rising tides Giving no less than our best We refused to stall in our great crusades With love and patience, we tried to persuade Preaching and teaching, hoping and praying Giving no less than our best We kept giving no less than our best We kept focus upon our God-given quest We sought no fame and had little rest But never ceasing, ever reaching Ever gaining and increasing Giving no less than our best Let the future speak well of us Let them say we did not fade into the dust That we stood for the right and what was Just That with our backs against the wall, we still stood tall That we were not a generation of whiners, but warriors And always gave no less than our very best 070920PSCtest, A Song Of Hope, John Hamilton
