You Failed

You tried to steal our pride but you did not succeed. You attempted to remove our feelings of security and you failed. You strived to cripple our way of life but it will recover the injuries you caused. You did your best to kill our spirit but you only grazed it. You endeavored to bring us to our knees but you couldn’t. You, in your cowardly fashion, killed thousands and wounded many more but we will heal. You thought you could prove your strength but you only showcased your fright. You might have believed that you had us where you wanted us but you under estimated the power of a united people. You did succeed in some areas. You managed to awake a nation to realize its full potential. You opened the hearts of a compassionate people. You brought into play a mighty power. You can’t have the strength, unity, grace, and pride of this country. Try as you might you aren’t able to pull us apart because no matter what you might attempt to do we are a mighty nation. You failed.
