When we meet those who
understand
what the heart and soul of America is about,
embrace them.
what the heart and soul of America is about,
embrace them.
Some have
roots that go back to Colonial times.
Others are immigrants who comprehend what
we have/are
because it is dream they sought in their pain and oppression
and
cherish now that they are here.
Some are folks who are perpetually change
makers who are too busy
extending large and small acts of kindness,
endeavoring
to make things a little better for all they meet
to be very introspective.
Some
are writers, poets, teachers and musicians.
Others are the Grandma or Grandpa
of the neighborhood
down the block
down the block
who manages to have a kindly listening ear
when needed.
