Painting - America's Pride – Thomas Kinkade
Seek shelter from the snow and rain; from wind and stormy ocean waves. Seek shelter not to be in pain; with elements, do all that saves. But, there's a shelter for the mind; for it, we must become aware of those attacks with thoughts unkind; we must defend against their snare. Some online sites can poison us; entrap minds into thinking that for love of country- should not fuss- cause loathing it is where we're at. Seek shelter from each misled source with narrow values and those who enjoy the good life- then enforce- don't give, just take- and complain too. And then complain that's not enough since equity and equal spar. Seek shelter from this mental scuff; beneath our Flag- salute each star- for staying safe the way we are.
