Reflections of many Decades....
The Christmas Holidays... and the coming New Year....somehow have awaken the Memories of Years... gone by....As I stare at an uncertain Future... I long for the security of the 60's and 70's....A time when i truly believed in the American Way...A time when I thought I could achieve the Dream....Of Life ....Liberty... and happiness....A Time when I truly believed in Justice..........I Long for the time ... when I stood Proud to be an American...Not because I was better than the rest of the World...Proud because....I wasn't hungry...cold...or living in Fear...I Believed that America would always remain.. Strong....Protective of Her Citizens.....A Nation Truly Blessed...........Today...I live in uncertain fear....Where people are Lovers of Money...where people judge ..not by the person.. but by the position of the person...Today I cling to the bits and pieces of my Memories... that premote Hope...Hope that America can Once again stand up for her Citizens...Protect our Shores...rebuild our cities... reopen our factories...Hope that soon... I read Made In America..in big Bold STAMP...A semble of Pride and Craftsmanship...........I Hope that Some how our elected governing Body.. put asside their ...Petty Bickerings.. and work together to provide the kind of Government...Leadership... and Rebuild the Trust that has been Lost ....To provide treatment for all American Citizens....To Let our Yes mean Yes.. and our No mean No............I long to see American Citizens... able to raise their families... and have time to be there for their children... I long for a time when people seemed to be more intrested in the quality of their work...rather than the amount of money they could make...I long for a time again when I stand and Sing....America... America.... of thee i sing....and feel the Joy in my Heart... because I know ...Being an American is the Greatest feeling I can share.........Not because I'm better.. or have more money... not because I have a big fine house.. or new Car every year...just because when I go outside.. my home isn't bullet riddled...because I'm not livin in fear of my life or my childrens life..constantly... afraid...ever watchful... hungry.... or beatin...imprisoned because of my belief... of desires of Freedaom.........I Long for better Days... I'm ever grateful... even if America isn't shining it's Brightest...America is still the HOME that I LOVE....and I'd really love to See MY home Treated with A LOT more RESPECT...By those I Voted for to make sure America is Always... THERE...........I reckon i said a mouthful...I'm feelin old beyond my years...I'm prayin.. and I hope others will join in... When we say GOD BLESS AMERICA...that we are once again... Asking for his Blessing...In giving thanks for this time of year...When we are Celebrating... The Greatest Gift of all Time.......For God so Loved the World... he gave his Only begotten Son...America reflects that Love ...by providing the Freedom of Belief...and the Freedom of non belief...Because we are allowed to choose.... that makes Freedom so ...........May this Christmas Season...Bring all Mankind at least a moment of Peace...a feeling of LOVE...and the Spirit of HOPE...........amen
