White House Rose Garden, poem by Peter Menkin
White House Rose Garden
by Peter Menkin
We the people dream
you live sometime in rest
visiting the rose garden
at the White House, Mr. President,
part of a Presidential
spirit that lives with almighty
and ancient strengths brought
to new world refreshment
.
A hope that is America's
desire for reason. A hope for Civilized
republic and visions
of history. More than one
man of power living common
desires for a better world
tended by providence's hand.
The great spirit of nationhood
comes upon the country
this again, again.
