My
Dream For America
by Shelbi Phelps |
| My dream for America
is that our great country would continue to be a lighthouse of freedom
around the world. We do need a strong defense to be able to protect ourselves
in our country and around the world from those who want to take away our
freedoms. But we need to have a better usage of our money by taking care
of our people and our needs here at home.
Another dream that I have for America is that we could stop hate. Hate is a very bad thing And as a result of hate, people kill and steal and commit other crimes against the innocent, here in this country and around the world. If hate would stop, people would be happier, more people would get along with each other, and as a result we would spend less money on materials of war. Another of my dreams for America is that there would be homes for the homeless, jobs for the jobless and a strong vibrant economy. For us to send billions of dollars around the world rebuilding and repairing other countries and not providing for our people and their needs is a nightmare. It is my dream that we respect and protect our country's natural resources. By doing this, we pass on to our next generations the most beautiful and diverse land on earth. My dream for America is the same dream the settlers had when they came to this new land. The right and freedom to worship as they chose. To not lose sight of the One who has given us all of the things that our great country has to offer. To not forget the words of the constitution and how well it has worked untouched up to this point. There is a verse in the Bible, that says, "Without a vision (or dream), the people perish". May GOD Bless America |
