She’s been standing right in front of us. Lovingly gazing at us all. Trying to catch our eye. We know she’s there but she’s not in our league. She’s naïve and cute and truly sweet. But in this complex world, she doesn’t understand. We’re afraid it’s not all that simple.
Yet there’s something unfamiliar. It feels rather odd, like there’s something we don’t know. But right now we’ve got more pressing things, more important things on our plate.
So we look left. We look right. Avoiding her eye altogether. Yet each way seems to end in abyss. In our wisdom, we still turn away. Confident that we know best.
The whole time she’s still right in front of us. Waiting and still loving. Through the years she’s been soft. Through the years she’s been strong. She’s been bold and yet so quiet. She’s been gently resolved to loving us always. Knowing someday she’ll catch our eye and we will see her, see her for who she really is. We’ll see she’s been trying to reach us from the very first moment.
She wants to share the Love that she knows. To share the Joy that’s in her heart. To teach us a better way – her very trust in us forging our true loyalty.
Look straight ahead. We must look forward. Straight into America’s eyes. To find what we’ve been missing. To see what we might not know. A concept maybe not thought of. Maybe, believed impossible. To find the Love that’s behind her gaze. To find the reason for this Truth we hold.
Please look, here’s our Unity. She’s right there in front of us. She’s been right there this whole time for us. She still trusts us to do the right thing.
