Well here goes.
America is a nation that is full of loving and caring people for the most part. We have so much that we sometimes forget what we do have.
There are mountains that rise up out of the earth to see and climb. There are valleys that we can roll into. There are rivers that flow so free that in certain part cleanse themselves. There are golden fields that when you look out that is all you see. Pure GOLD, there are cities that shimmer in the morning sunlight like silver dripping off the end of a rainbow. The amazing nature,that we sometimes, forget it's out there to see and hear.
The people that share this great country with me are for the most part a good people. They care for each other. They will take the time to do for someone that can't do for themselves. They will share the last bid of food, clothing, and shelter with a perfect stranger. We are not a selfish people. We like to see other people acheive the american dream. We rally around someone that has a goal and help them to acheive it. We will send everything we have to help out our neighbors. We do not expect anything in return except that they would do it for thier neighbor. We accept people from all over the world and say welcome to our home. We share this land that we love with the rest of the world. We would gladly give part of it to you, and we do.
We are so richly blessed that we can worship anyway we choose. No one can tell use we can't. We accept the people that do not see the world in the same eyes as ours.
I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. This land and it people are to be encouraged. We can only get better by being of a cheerful and loving heart.
We all feel sometimes that we would love to lock our gates and never let anyone else in. But would that be America. No, because America is known for her kindness and understanding of the other downtrodden world. We hold out our lightand hold our head up high.We look out over the world and ask how can we make it better, not just our homeland but the rest of the world.
I am proud to be an American and would not want to live anywhere else on this planet. With all our false we are a good place and we will make it alot better because we choose to do the right and just things
