To the Cadets (ABC)

To the Cadets

(ABC, after Pinsky)

America's beaming cadets:

Don't equivocate, 

forsaking grace,

honor,

integrity. 

Just know

leaders move nations 

onward,

provoking questions,

restoring semblance

to universal values,

wondrously crossing

yesterday's zeniths. 

- Curt LaFond
