Good not yet interred
Friends, Readers, Countryfolk, lend me your ears and your eyes.
I come to praise the good people who worked with conviction and diligence to pass our school levy.
They were ambitious. It is truly so.
They are honorable folks And, that is truly so.
They hath brought many people to the polls.
They hath encouraged a healthy majority to support the bright path of learning.
Ambition IS made of pretty stern stuff.
They are honorable folks. Oh yes, they are!
I speak not this morning to disprove what others have opposed about our schools.
I only speak what I do know.
Young minds will thrive, thanks to their ambitious good works.
Yay, I say.
The good is not yet interred with THESE people’s bones.
The good hath come from their hearts, their souls and from their minds.
And, dear friends, when that doth occur, good things do happen to the masses of good people.
So, my heart is not in the coffin there with Caesar or any other.
My heart and all the hearts who care for future good tidings brim this morning with great joy.
And, so dear friends, readers and countryfolk, on this March 15, we do not beware!
We rejoice.
And, that is all.
by Marianne Love, experiencing joy this morning
