Destiny

To the future and beyond

By Mark Stigers Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

Destiny

Is there not a better time

For us to live and be

The world is so connected

And there is so much to see

Life is very grand

And the future is so bright

Embrace a higher calling

And do what is right

I led an interesting life

The times are fascinating

To be an American

Is so captivating

Are we a superpower

In control of the earth

How do we accomplish

Deeds of high worth

Reach for the stars

Do your very best

If we do not try

We will never pass the test
