George Washington by PamelaWLucas
General you led us through Valley Forge to many victories
Energy flourished in your tall frame
One among yourself, standing in glory
Riding on Nelson’s back, you must have been grand
Greatness came and visited you each day, lingering
Every person, man or woman loved to be in your presence
Washington is a name that is known to us all
Among all those who have led us, you remain in our hearts
Such a kind and respectful man who simply wanted to farm
Helping and guiding, directing and leading
In the face of danger you grew strong and never faltered
Nelson was your steady steed, a Chestnut that carried you
Giving of yourself, through sorrow and lonely moments
Teaching the troops how to fight the British
Only one among himself, “The Father of Our Nation”
Never to be forgotten, The Soldier, The Hero, The President
More here about George Washington and his horse Nelson.
