Plymouth Rock
By Dawne Zacharias
When the early pioneers landed in 1620
They were weary,
They came to worship the Lord in
The way the scriptures taught.
A Sign hoisted on board the ship said,
"They committed themselves to the Will of God
And resolved to proceed."
Cape Cod sighted on November 19, 1620.
A wooded land up to the edge of plenty.
The Mayflower Compact;
Laid the foundations of the first
civil body politic in America,
The covenant was given and taken;
It Laid the foundations of the
American republic.
No Monarchy or Dictatorship,
but upon, the consent of the governed.
On the Plymouth Rock monument it reads;
"They laid the foundation
of a state wherein every man
through countless ages
should have liberty."
