Our Constitution
 Pauline Braswell displays her most recent DAR awards for her poetry. |
With a noble heart they pondered,
the words for a nation... new
words to protect all citizens,
not words for a chosen few.
We pray for the wisdom to understand
the words they did impart,
of freedom, liberty, and justice;
the courage of their stalwart heart.
We stand in awe of their vision,
to see changes in future years,
that has let us be guided, directed
in greatness, and moments of tears.
As we honor our constitution
those visions and dreams come true,
bequeathed to us in bright colors,
our flag of red, white, and blue.
Pauline Braswell
