Bobby got me an iPad with his yearly bonus this year and then he downloaded a book titled, American Poetry. I really enjoy reading various ones from time to time. He showed me this one the other day and I really loved it.
UPSTREAM by Carl Sandburg
The strong men keep coming on
They go down shot, hanged, sick, broken.
They live on, fighting, singing, lucky as plungers.
The strong men....they keep coming on.
The strong mothers pulling them from a dark sea, a great prairie, a lone mountain.
Call hallelujah, call amen, call deep thanks.
The strong men keel coming on.
