Tis Well

A giant of a man to whom history bows As schoolboy’s sing his legend proud Our rivers symbols where freedom flows Through nighttime crossings in driving snow That freezing winter at Valley Forge The enemy slept our hope restored Embracing conflict in search of peace As patriots bled our bonds released A giant of a man to whom history bows In debt we live our souls endowed The first to lead us the first to pray The last to leave us ‘Tis Well’ this day (Valley Forge Memorial Chapel: June, 2022)
