Analysis of Opportunity
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
America’s promise belongs to all,
Claim some free open space.
Hear freedom ring through every hall,
Her lonely and lost embrace.
When participation requires a fight –
America’s promise belongs to all,
For our people, invincible might,
Rise as they heed her great call.
Carry the ball summer through fall,
Belief transforms fragile tin to steel.
America’s promise belongs to all,
Partake of a banquet, get the real deal.
Heartfelt labor renders us tough,
Growing together we stand tall.
Abundant provision, more than enough,
America’s promise belongs to all!
