HERITAGE by MAY BRYANT FULLAM

First Line: OUR BIRDMAN LOVED HIS SHIP
Last Line: TO TAKE HIS PLACE WITH FRIENDS AND KIN E'EN AS HE DID ON EARTH.
Subject(s): ANCESTORS & ANCESTRY; COURAGE; EXPLORERS; HERITAGE; HEREDITY; VALOR; BRAVERY; EXPLORING; DISCOVERY; DISCOVERERS;
Our birdman loved his ship.
The spirit of the pioneers was in his veins.
Adventuring was the acme of his dreams.
And so we feel
That as his spirit winged its way into the Great Unknown
That bright Autumnal morn,
It was with hope and courage that he ventured forth
To take his place with friends and kin e'en as he did on earth.
