Ode To Winston Churchill
Churchill's appeal reflects a unique parentage
combining American and British heritage.
Winston Churchill, diplomat, lived with criticism,
Britain’s unstoppable prime minister showed
bulldog tenacity coupled with optimism.
His determination was revolutionary
His optimism looked beyond the problem.
Surrender was not in this man's vocabulary.
In his words, indecision leads to mayhem.
Arrogance accounts not for the hand of God.
Avoidance weakens a man's spirit.
Architect of victory in war we applaud.
"We make a living by what we get,” his quote
(but) we make a life by what we give." he wrote.
