OUR AMERICAN DREAM AND AMERICANISM.
By: Jerry L. Rhoads peaceful evolution to prosperity for all Americans.
Our America is the feeling, of freedom in the land of opportunity. For risk and reward, to learn to earn, to work ethically and patriotically for the good of ourselves, and the country. With forethought of sharing the rewards of free enterprise, by treating our fellow citizens, and legal immigrants with respect, and honor with in our laws, and rule of law. Deemed Americanism to fend off all other negative isms.
It’s the feeling, good when we get up in the morning and can decide what we’re going to do that day, who we’re going to see and what we’re going to say.
It’s the feeling, that we can make a difference.
It’s the feeling, we can produce our product, we can sell our produce and we can benefit from our hard work, unhindered.
It’s the feeling, when we help our children with their homework, so they will be able to use their knowledge for growth, for maturity, for the good of the country.
It’s the feeling, when we send them off to school, knowing they will receive a concerned teacher’s attention, sensitivity and guidance. And knowing as they grow up, they will thrive on their freedom to communicate, to express themselves, to direct their own destiny.
It’s the feeling, when they graduate from grade school, junior high and high school that they are taking the steps towards a better life. And when you give their hand away in matrimony, that happiness shall be theirs. For together as husband and wife, they can create the same and even more opportunities for their off-spring.
It’s that feeling, when, we can unchain our dog and watch her run free for at least a little while, to watch the look on her face, when she’s released from the shackles; and the sadness that reappears when she must be chained.
Our America, is the freedom of choice to buy the bread we want to buy, to acquire the goods we can afford to acquire, to invest the capital we have saved, in ventures we want to take for the good of our family and our country.
Our America, is being able to communicate in writing, speaking and in whatever form, language takes, our opinions, our thoughts, our prayers, our visions and our dreams to those who want to listen, and to those enemies of the American way who in themselves have not discovered the America Dream.
Our America, is the blooming rose which has the freedom to grow towards, a clear sky and a warm sun; being able to complete its cycle from bloom to plumage to autumn to a dormant grave, only to rise again.
Our America, is the personal commitment to grab opportunities which will better the country and to set an example for those who follow; what you give, must be proportionate to what you take, or the erosion shall remove the sky, the sun, the earth from our grasp.
For in our America, and the world resourcesare limited; the energy, though absolute, is redistributed by our wills. The more astute, the freer we are to create, the better the use of the resources. And left in God’s hands, through our America, we create good will, good products, good people and peace of mind.
Our America, oh yes, our America, the vision of the poet, the words of the orator and the minds of the leaders be kind, be patient, be wise, but above all be humble to the reasons and the heritage of our freedom.
Lead us not into revolution, but deliver us from evil ventures and purposes, for thine evolution to prosperity for all, is our America, the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever.
“We the people find it self-evident that we must work, to earn equal opportunity and equityin pursuit of prosperity for all, to “Keep America, The Bountiful, Great”.
"Act not for the good of your party,. . Act for the good of the American Dream",
SO HELP US GOD, Amen.
