MY AMERICA THE BOUNTIFUL
My America, is the feeling of freedom. It’s the feeling good when you get up in the morning and can decide what you’regoing to do that day, who you’re going to see and what you’re going to say.
It’s the feeling, that you can make a difference. It’s the feeling you can produce your product, you can sell your produce and you can benefit from your hard work, unhindered.
It’s the feeling, when you help your 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 you send them off to school, knowing they will receive a concerned teacher’s attention, sensitivityand 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, you can unchain your 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.
My America, is the freedom of choice to buy the bread we want to buy, to acquire the goods we can afford to acquire, toinvest the capital we have saved, in ventures we want to take for the good of our family and our country.
My America, is being able to communicate in writing, speaking and in whatever form, language takes, our opinions, ourthoughts, 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 American Dream.
My 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.
My America, is the personal commitment to pursue 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 my America, and the world, resources are 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.
My America, oh yes, our America, the vision of the poet, the words of the orator and the minds of the leaders be kind, bepatient, be wise, but above all be humble to the reasons and the heritage of our freedom. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ventures and purposes, for thine is mine America as the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever.
“Enterprise to all the People” to work for equal opportunity and earned equity. Without peaceful evolution for problemresolution, there can be no future. ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR PARTY ... BUT ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY. quote adapted from Kahil Gibron's, poetary book "Treasury of Kahil Gibron's Wrigtings". 1978
