In the 1700's we fought with Washington to be free
And more great leaders in the 19th and 20th century
Like Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln to name a few
And Grant, two Roosevelts and Truman too.
(We've had a few duds--you all know who.)
Now we're in the 21st century and heroes are harder to find.
But there's one among us that I have in mind.
He encourages everyone to have an active part
As he promotes all sports, education and art.
He inspires us to volunteer our time and our heart.
Everyone calls him "Wid"--his name is Erik Widmark!
