“AM”

are the first two letters of the name of great people who stands up for the full knowledge of what they believe in, what they live for, and what they will die for, such as: integrity, dignity, freedom and mostly for the love of God and Jesus Christ our Savior.  American, the name of great people and I am proud to be one. 

“MERI”

The next letters stand for people who are happy and joyful because they have integrated their I AM in their everyday life functioning.  The meaning and purpose of their life existence is to help and serve others to the best they can, many times to the point of sacrificial giving and loving,  modeling the life of Jesus Christ. 

“I CAN”

The letters that spell the word of capability and willingness to do what needs to be done despite of turmoil, pain, sufferings, loses and humiliation. When tragedy is at hand  Americans says “I CAN” to overcome the trials and tribulations that made the people stronger, united, dedicated, committed, patient, faithful and trusting in the promises of God.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

   
     

This poem was written and inspired by the actions taken by the American people after September 11, 2001.  Americans have demonstrated the undying courage, patience, perseverance and compassion of what is love for our fellow men and country with the guidance and power of our God Almighty.
