Hope For America

By Semperpapa

I received an e-mail from a family member with this poem:

The Glory of Her Beauty

No citizen completely understands the Glory of Her beauty
Waving Free, Proud and True,
No one understands the burden that She carries,
Just taking for granted
The Freedom that they live.

Caught up in life
With all the fame and Glory
Fighting to be top dog.
Barely understanding,
No longer a privilege
Just cast down, under the thousands of things,
that we all take for granted.

The Glory of Her beauty,
That we cast down under,
Are the things that others strive to earn,
By killing and stealing,
For the sake of one thing,
Which She holds as She waves
Majestically and Proud,
One thing...
Something Her people do not understand the greatness of,
Freedom.

Reading this beutiful words was enough to give this American hope for our Nation and our future, but what made it even more significant was that the author is 12 years old young lady from Arizona.

Sydney Lauren Woodford, a member of a family I have the honor and privilege to call family, is a representative of our country's future.
She, and her brothers and soon to arrive sister, are the foundation of the United States, the leaders of tomorrow.

Thank you Sydney.

Just my thoughts!
