The American Dream

It must be fate that so decreed
For that is how it may seem
To those who live and watch from afar
As we live the quintessential American Dream
But the American Dream came at a price
Of struggle and loss and endless strife
Carried on shoulder with dignity and pride
By those who willingly gave their life.
So that one and all may be free
To pursue their dream or want or need
With patience, perseverance and persistence anew
Regardless of religion, race or creed.
And so its inherent in our legacy
That no matter what fate may deem,
The bold and brave will challenge destiny
In relentless pursuit of the American Dream.
