Analysis of Human Spirit
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Within the human spirit,
There is a story to tell,
One that is so awesome,
One that I know well,
The travel's that we take,
We call but just our own,
Is something to be shared,
And never left alone,
Across the many mile's,
Traveling in leap's, and bound's,
Listen to the echo's,
Of footstep's upon the ground,
Dream's become real,
As we travel every day,
Making for such beauty,
In a special way,
Within the human spirit,
Travel's I shall take,
Creating dream's come true,
Resting beside the lake.
