Union, a poem

Union

By Charlie Averill



When I fail to take a stand

for what I know is right.

When I fail to lend a hand

by joining in the fight



Then you all can fix the blame

as history has shone,

on the one who bears the shame,

on me and me alone.



But hopefully we all have learned

that victory takes us all;

and gaining that for which we've earned

means answering the call.



Give your all and nothing short,

for it is no illusion,

That winning takes your full support

cause you're the "U" in UNION.
