So I Speak

Not for myself, but for the age unborn

I caught the fire from those who went before,

The bearers of the torch who could not see,

The goal of which they strained.

I caught their fire,

And carried it only a little way beyond;

But there are those that wait for it,

I know, those who will carry it on to victory

I dare not fail them.

Looking back, I see those others--

With their arms outstretched--

Pointing to the future.
