OUR TOWN MY TOWN IS the place where my home is founded; Where my business is situated and my vote is cast, Where my children are educated, where my neighbors dwell, And where my life is chiefly lived. "It is the home spot for me." My town has the right to my civic loyalty, It supports me and I should support it. MY TOWN wants my citizenship, not my partisanship, My friendliness, not my dissension, my sympathy, not my criticism, my intelligence, not my indifference. MY TOWN supplies me with protection, trade, friends, And the right to free moral leadership, It has some things that are better than others, The best things I should seek to make better, the worst things I should help to suppress. Take it all-in-all, it is MY TOWN and entitled to the best there is in me. (Date and author unknown.) |
