It is not about,
how many problems we have.
Are there problems with racism?
Certainly...
Are there problems with division?
Of course there are.
Still, politics is not,
what defines this nation.
It is not the protests.
Nor is it the groups.
What defines us a nation -
what makes America great,
is the contrary.
What makes America great,
are the Americans who live,
as hard working people.
What makes America great,
are the Americans,
who are grateful,
for what they do have -
those who show their gratitude.
What defines us,
is how we treat,
our fellow Americans -
not just our fellow Americans,
but our fellow neighbors.
It is not the complaints,
and the hatred,
and the, 'trying to please everybody',
that makes us great.
That is not,
what represents America.
Rather, it is us,
loving one another,
without having,
any hidden agenda
on our mind.
That is what keeps America,
united and great.

- Comment from author about the poem: Being an American is not about Politics. It is about representing your country. A true American is someone who can boldly and honestly say, "I love my country. I love America. I work hard, and this country has given me alot in return, and I am greatful for it". That is what being an American is all about. Have a happy and safe Independence Day. Persistence is key

I must ask. Did you really meet those people?
Persistence is key
YES ! I\'m 35 born in 1883 and I met Bily Graham with my Parents in 1989 when he came LONDON ENGLAND. My Parents were BG Coucellors. Boots Randolph (Saxophonist and a Friend of JIM REEVES who died in 1964) I met @ Kissimee where he was giving a concert in 2000. For my 20th Birthday (2003) I went to the GRAND OLE OPREY and Kris was chairing a Memorial Concert for Johhny Cash ! Bill Clinton I met in Little Rock Arkansas in 2004 he was doing a recording for 60 minutes outside his childhood home ! I have met lots of other Americans ~ in the UK & USA and they have all been real nice ! I have relations in San Diego (CA) Austin (TX) and St Louis (MO)
Blessings & Peace & Joy ~ Yours B & A 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I am repeating my comments to A&B
I believe that those courageous people drafted a document so powerful that it was meant for humanity at large and not just one nation or one people. It was not perfect, as they themselves exclaimed, but it gave people the right, a right that we must today enforce, as we gave traversed far from the true meaning of those words.
