God Bwess

'merica

I was

so proud to see my 2-yr. old grandson walking around

waving

one of my extra car flags in the living room the

other

day. He had taken it off the table when I went into

the

kitchen and was waving it high above his head,

singing..."God

Bwess 'Merica." It brought chills

bumps

over my arms and tears to my eyes as I

returned

to the living room to see what he was up to.

I immediately

starting waving my hands up in the air too,

joining

in on his song, and praising him on how good he was doing.

A few

minutes of singing and he headed off to his

next

adventure. However before he took flight,

I spun

him in my direction to head him off and asked,

"Where

did you learn to sing that song?"

He quickly

replied, "daycare." I am very proud

that

both of my grandsons learned to sing God Bless

America

at their daycare. They also recite the Pledge

of Allegiance

every morning.

Does

this make me proud too? Absolutely.

We can

all learn so much from the innocence of our

young

children. While our children stand together,

with

hands over their hearts and recite the words

of our

Pledge of Allegiance, they do not care who is

standing

beside them. They don't care what race that

person

is what class, or what religion. They are all

on a

mission…together. They are learning what respect,

pride,

and honor is for the flag that stands

for

everything this country represents.

Children

are not born with prejudice toward race or

religion.

Sit at a park or daycare some day and observe

them

playing together. They are taught this from us…the adults.

We are

their idols. We know all. The only time when

bitterness

among them is present is when someone

took

the best toy or cut in line at the water fountain.

I hope

that I will never have to tell my

grandchildren

that they cannot recite that Pledge

of Allegiance

anymore. Because they will ask,

"But,

why not Nannee?" Am I supposed to tell them

that

we were wrong? That those idols and all-knowing adults,

which

they look up to for everything, changed their minds?

I hope

they will never have to be reluctant or ashamed

to stand

with their little hands over their hearts and

recite

those words. I hope they will never learn that

there

was once controversy over

the

words "One nation under God."

I feel

blessed to have had a lifetime full of

acquaintances

from all sorts of backgrounds. It has

taught

me diversity and respect for others. I was also

raised

reciting the words to our Pledge of Allegiance

in my

classroom everyday. I don't recall ever

once

having heard that it offended anyone.

The people

of the United States suffered a

tremendous

blow on September 11, 2001, a day

that

changed our way of life in this country forever.

We lost

thousands of lives in an instant that can

never

be replaced. Right now this country,

or this

entire world for that matter, is hanging on

a delicate

thread. Why create controversy and anger

to an

already anxious situation among our people in this country?

Why

now?

So what

is my youngest grandson up to lately?

He is

fascinated over the American flag. Every time

we take

a drive in the car that little head pops up

in his

car seat and he screams, "Look Nannee a fwag!"

I have

to say, "What kind of flag is that?"

He excitedly

replies, "merica". The pride glows on his face.

We still

sing "God Bwess 'merica"

and

we still recite the "Pwedge of 'wegence" too.

Our children.

I will say it again;

we

can learn so much from them.
