One possible version:
The poem A Nation's Strength was written by American poet Ralph Emerson. In this poem, Emerson is full of praise for the backbone of his nation, whose people, for the sake of the truth and honor, fight and work selflessly and fearlessly.
From my perspective, these national heroes really deserve our respect. I am determined to devote my whole being to my country and I am convinced that with the dedication of many young people, our country is sure to become more prosperous.
