I See America Working

Tue, 07/30/2013 - 17:03 -- Jaylen

I see America working. The hard working and struggling I see. Just sit back, relax, listen, and agree. The high school student working to get his/her grades up for college. Going home every day trying to retain the knowledge. The single mom working to provide for her kids. Allowing her boyfriend to beat her as the law forbids. The homeless man working to make a dollar out of fifteen cent. Not trying to find a job because he knows he can’t commit. The college athlete working to get to the professional level. Being the best at that sport while also being respectful. The entrepreneur working to count all the money. Smiling so bright like a day when it’s sunny. America works around the world, struggling or succeeding. But always looking up to God and always believing.
