10 Inspirational poems for women
That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it because being
American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into and how we
repair it. We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it.
That would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy, and this effort
very nearly succeeded. But while democracy can periodically be delayed, but it
can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith, we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future,
history has its eyes on us, this is the era of just redemption we feared in its
inception we did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour but
within it we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and
laughter to ourselves, so while once we asked how can we possibly prevail over
catastrophe, now we assert how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us.
We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be, a country that
is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free, we will not be
turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction
and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, our blunders become
their burden. But one thing is certain: if we merge mercy with might and
might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s
birthright.
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left, with every
breath from my bronze, pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into
a wondrous one, we will rise from the golden hills of the West, we will rise
from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution,
we will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states, we will rise
from the sunbaked South, we will rebuild, reconcile, and recover in every
known nook of our nation in every corner called our country our people
diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful, when the day comes
we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free
it, for there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re
brave enough to be it.
