JFK on Mormons

Of all the stories heard
From the days of pioneers
Let's look to the Mormon's words
And how they persevered

To see the right prevail,
with unflagging determination
Their valient courage did not fail
Despite orders for extermination

They had unity to restation
Patience and faith set in motion
And it would do well for our nation
To follow these qualities and notions

As the Mormons have succeeded
We, too, can work to succeed
If we go not back, defeated
But heed their voices as we lead

Given in 1963 before I was born
He died when I was a month old
