Manifestation of Destined Hope
by Wendy Moore Ledwell
A spark of hope as seen
Through the eyes oT the elders
Brings home long aw ailed joy
Now comes the healing of wounds
Forged deep within souls through tunc
To one nun a task is given
To rebuild bridges fallen to (lie decay of prejudice
Adversity nor late could intervene
Destiny's chancrcd course
He will not journey alone
The pray era of the people w ill be his companion
Though his task be most formidable
He shall not falter: he shall not fail'
This poem hw written by Mt. I.edwell at eke took pen in bond to
express who! (ilenn Meynor's mt to hdhm people.
And the Herd of Prospect, J emeu Moore, quoted these lines from
Longfellow to express his feelings on the Meynor victory?
St. Augustine's Ladder
The height of great men reached and kept was not utiaincd by sudden
flight
But they while their companions slept were toiling upward in the tughi
Standing on what loo long we bore with bend should* and down cast eves
We now discern unsccu before a path to higltcr destinies
Nor do we deem Use irrevocable past as wholly wusted wttoll* vain if
rising on its wrecks at late to something higlicr wc attain
