WHAT AMERICA MEANS TO ME

                            AMERICA'S HEALING PROCESS
                                  by Thelma Conner

Each one, teach one
By bending that young twig.
This is the way it is done,
To restore our nation's values.

Befriend a young couple near your door,
By actions that speak to their heart.
Lead them, love them and encourage them more,
Then your shadow will extend to others, for sure.

The endangered family must heal from within.
Restored to its once proud throne,
Our nation will rise to its glory again,
When home is once more encircled with love.

Communities, small villages, and towns must lead the way.
Rid the pollution, clear out the rotted debris,
That stagnates our beautiful nation today.
AMERICA heed the call, before it is too late.

Surely our nation wil hear freedom's cry of distress,
Begging for peace, within our land.
If restored, first in the home that God has blessed,
By bending of the twig and leading the way.
