A poem by Everard Jack Appleton

An American Creed

________________________________________________
Title:     An American Creed
Author: Everard Jack Appleton [More Titles by Appleton]

Straight thinking,
Straight talking,
Straight doing,
And a firm belief in the might of right.

Patience linked with patriotism,
Justice added to kindliness,
Uncompromising devotion to this country,
And active, not passive, Americanism.

To talk less, to mean more,
To complain less, to accomplish more,
And to so live that every one of us is ready to look Eternity in the
face at any moment, and be unafraid!


[The end]
Everard Jack Appleton's poem: American Creed
