We need to remember why this matters

I want to share with Herald readers the following poem:

The Key

I hold in my hand the key to the world

It will always be with me

The key is a magnificent swirl of emerald, sapphire, and diamond

There is no other key like it

It can never be broken

It is a sign of peace

The key keeps earth alive

Our son wrote this 19 year ago in third grade.

It feels like many of us have forgotten about our children. The dreams they have, the hopes they have and the poor demonstration they have had watching our country be broken, and divided piece by piece.

The key you see, is WE! WE are all in this together!

United we stand, divided we fall! Let’s stand tall again for the United States of America, for the world and most of all, for our children, who are the future of our country and our world!

We have to make them proud!
