Analysis of A New Path
What will be your legacy,
can it forever speak the truth
Do the words describe your finest hours,
were your labors nobly used
Will your memory linger and grow in strength
as it prepossesses time
Can it wrap its love around borders quelled
—a new path for all to find
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
