4th of July Reflection

I am thankful to day for the good ol’ U.S.A.

This country is one of contradiction, to be sure

There is beauty and there is ugly;

There are people peacefully working together to accomplish great things

and there are stormy political battles;

There are millionaires and there are

people living on the streets;

There is safety and there is fear,

There is love and there is hate,

There is greed and there is great compassion;

It is not perfect, it is not Eden,

but for all its flaws it is lovely;

I am so grateful to the founders of this nation,

for their dream of a better place,

for their courage to follow that dream;

 I am grateful for the men and women who have

laid down their lives in order to keep that dream alive;

I am grateful for the freedom to follow my own dreams

and to worship as my conscious dictates;

For all her flaws this country is still the best,

the brightest,

and the only place I want to call home;

May we never take for granted

the good that is here;

And may we continue to believe for,

dream for,

and fight for the better that we can be;

God Bless America!

Happy 4th!
