Dear Priscilla + Pat,
We hear a great deal nowadays about making America better nation than it has ever been. Our country needs to be full of "Good Citizens," young and old who lead the kind of lives that will help to make America a happy home for all.
Good Americans whether in school or out of it, are those who work honestly, [believe] in service to others, avoid wastefulness, and in other ways show that they think of their neighbors' welfare, instead of always thinking selfishly how they can get more things for themselves.
This poem simplifies your courage and behavior.
Sincerely,
The Fourth Grade Class - C.S. Coleman
