I wish! Two simple words that we hear and we say from childhood. As children we would wish for a certain toy or other gift on our birthday or at Christmas. Or sometimes for a better grade when we knew we hadn't done as well as we should in school. As we got older we would wish that a certain girl would look our way or a certain boy would show interest. All wishes appropriate for our age and our time and our maturity.
Now, as an adult, especially one well past my prime, my wishes are for things appropriate form my age and time of course. But they are also wishes of, and for, better times in our country and our world. But wishes are like dreams. They seldom come true, and as we grow into adulthood we learn that real life lesson. But we still wish, and we still dream. And let us all hope that we can all continue to wish for needs and wants other than just being able to live one more day.
My wishes? Why, for nothing more than to live another day. To see our leaders actually lead by them realizing that they were put there to represent their countrymen. Not for special interest groups, not to push an agenda, especially one that might bring harm to their country our their countrymen.
Another wish is that we would see soon an end to the war on terror. That our country would be made safe. That our borders would be secured. That something would be actually done about illegal immigration. That those coming here would realize that they are coming to a country more than willing to take them. With people that would open their hearts and homes to them. But that they come here legally. That they become part and parcel of what is America. They become Americans. That they become part of the American Culture. That they assimilate. That they join what is good with their roots with what is good about this country. I wish!
But as it stands, my wishes, like all wishes, will likely never come true. Not unless there is a profound change in this country. Unless the celebration of multi[culturism, the open borders, our leaders representing only their own interests, or our own people forgetting who we are and were, all ends. Unless we all remember what it is to be an American. Unless we remember what we were and can be again. Unless we start remember our roots and our history. Unless we remember that we stood as one in times past and as we stood in the days following 911. Unless we remember, and find ourselves as Americans again, my wishes, my dreams, will be as dust. And this country will fall!
I wish!
