Challenges shall arise
Founding Fathers always knew
Banking on nation’s resilience
Diligence sees us through
Compromise offers path
Democracy’s open door
Common ground must be sown with faith
No longer keeping score
Nation’s tomorrow calls
Steering with imperfect hands
Leading always, “Of the People”
Across freedom’s great land
With each generation
Grateful nation never bends
Defending democracy’s quest
Freedom’s proud dividend
In his Gettysburg Address, President Abraham Lincoln immortalized the continuing spirit and faith in the American experiment of democracy with these words, “. . . that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Good reminder that our government is ultimately under God’s control.

Jan, I am not sure what to think sometimes. Our democracy may be imperfect, but it is still the best form of government in the world. I often think of Lincoln’s closing words in his Gettysburg Address . . . of the people, by the people, for the people.

I agree, Richard, “… it is still the best form of government in the world.”
