Senior
citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable
deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We
know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not
blame others.
HOWEVER,
upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was
NOT
the senior citizens who took:
The
melody
out of music,
The pride
out of appearance,
The courtesy
out of driving,
The romance
out of love,
The commitment
out of marriage,
The responsibility
out
of parenthood,
The togetherness
out of the family,
The learning
out of education,
The service
out of patriotism,
The Golden
Rule
from rulers,
The nativity
scene out of cities,
The civility
out of behavior,
The refinement
out of language,
The dedication
out of employment,
The prudence
out of spending,
The ambition
out of achievement, or,
God
out of government and school.
And
we certainly are NOT
the ones who eliminated patience
and tolerance
from
personal relationships and interactions with
others!!
And,
we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those
who have fought and died for our country.
Does
anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star
Spangled Banner? or O
Canada Just
look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in
their hearts as they stand at attention, on veterans day and
our great country's birthday .
YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
