from seeing Tony 28 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,780 Bennett you merely just say "on with the show coach," who I believe may have just 29 00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:15,820 seen Forrest Gump. 30 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,860 Hey everyone this is coach Bennett and it's an honor to be part of 31 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:24,720 Arts on the Hill a few days ago I received an email from president Ryan 32 00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:31,450 asking if I would share or read a poem that was meaningful to me and I'm 33 00:02:31,450 --> 00:02:35,140 probably not the most well-read person when it comes to poetry so I 34 00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:40,900 decided to enlist the services of my daughter and my wife and ask for some 35 00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:46,450 poetry that might be fitting for the occasion so about 10 minutes later my 36 00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:51,040 daughter, Anna, she sent me a poem that I read and I thought was just excellent so 37 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,540 that's the poem I want to share with you but the best thing about it is she wrote 38 00:02:55,540 --> 00:03:01,030 it so I'm gonna share a poem by my daughter Anna Bennett called The Sun 39 00:03:01,030 --> 00:03:03,570 Will Shine

state of the world a time of 42 00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:22,810 silence a time of stillness take what you will from the weeping sky we remain 43 00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:28,390 strong on the ground united
