A SIMPLE QUESTION

On whatever side you stand today…in this divided nation
A question now I offer for your consideration….

Years from now when your grandchildren and great grandchildren
sit upon you knee
and ask what you did during this pivotal time in our country’s history.

Will you answer in a whisper…
or say your words aloud
and more importantly…
will your answer make your grandchildren 
and your great-grandchildren proud.
