one sky... one breeze... over one nation....
but we do not get to choose these...
we do not choose the nation of our birth...
the breeze we feel the whole world feels....
the sky and stars we search upon...
for answers and comforts near and far... is the same...
even for the far away lands...
wether in turmoil, peace, or all out war....
the sands that blow and rain that falls...
is the same for each human that can breath...
the beauty and comforts we live with each day...
can be claimed as ours and held as one
yet this 'one' is a melting pot... of all of all the nations we find,
one and one and one
to create a place we can stand tall....
while on this day we welcome with celebration...
there are hostages, prisioners, soldiers... not within this nation...
there are those who will not share in this...
there are those who will not care of this...
but a changing of the guard for us has always come peacfully
thankful we should stand.. for our freedoms, and our liberties.
"compassionate".. we should feel for those
who do not know of these...
take the moment to ponder the thought
of all the world that today has not...
does not live in peace,... prosperity,... freedom,... and safety.
for all the rest that makes this world one... all the rest - outside our nation.
