Lu’s Reviews > The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country > Status Update

Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:

That even as we grieved, we grew,

That even as we hurt, we hoped,

That even as we tired, we tried.

That we’ll forever be tied together.
Victorious,

Not because we will never again know
defeat,

But because we will never again sow
division.
