Washington, the father of our nation.
Despite his failures in the early war, he became a sensation.
He was called to be the commander in chief, leading his armies in battle.
The guns would fire, and the cannons would rattle.

Although he was not the best general, he was quite a good listener, speaking in general.
He listened to his military inferiors.
This led them in battle, to be quite superior.

He united all those who met him.
To them, he was a leader of men.
It were his hands which forged this nation.
Through him, this country started with a strong foundation.
