The nation is the young and what they build—
the generation that inherits and improves,
that takes the imperfect gift of what was left them
and finds in it the room for better moves.

The young are not the problem of the nation—
they are its only real and renewable resource,
the ones who will fix what the old could not finish,
who will find the better, less expensive course.

Invest in the young. They are the country.
They are the flag in forty years of flight.
They are the anthem's next verse being written,
the nation's morning earning its own light.
