On this Independence Day, please take a moment to pause and remember what it means to be considered an American. Most importantly, please remember, America is not just me and it is not just you, it is us. There is one thing that describes us all, no matter the color of our face, no matter what place we may have once called home, in this great land, we are all Americans. At the end of the day, we win or lose as a whole. Never think what you do doesn't matter. It has an effect upon us all as your fellow Americans.
I am so grateful to all those who contributed in making this country what it is today. From the least of men to the greatest of men, we owe an expression of gratitude. If we never gain anything else from our years, may we learn this. If in all our accomplishments, we fail to learn how to live together peacefully, we will have accomplished nothing. Great men don't have small minds, they have great minds.
Happy 4th.
A Little More Love
If I could reach the great writers in the heavens above,
I’d have them write a song for the world
I have no doubt the topic would be love
Throughout the ages of time
One message was on their mind.
Everybody wants to know
Can I lean on you when I need a friend?
When my burdens get too hard to bear,
Can I count on you to be there?
Will you answer my call?
Will you lift me up when I fall?
I wish the world would finally hear these words.
If I had to send one message throughout eternity,
Today, tomorrow and forever the message would be
We need a little more love.
Whether it’s written in English, Spanish or Greek.
There’s only one path to the peace we seek.
A little more love is what we need.
If everyone planted just one seed,
The garden of love would grow
Across every mountain and beyond every sea.
With love there are no impossibilities
If we want wars to cease,
If we really want to see peace,
We must learn to live as one.
There would be no doubts,
No fears to overcome,
If we just let love be
Peace would be ours for all eternity.
