So beautiful and then I think about how the country has become and this makes me more than sad.
Not my intent to make you sad, FRiend.
Although I must say, I had the same reaction years ago to the movie Amazing Grace (the story of how the hymn was written and William Wilberforce's 30-year struggle to end the slave trade) when I saw the final scene: the royal bagpipe band playing Amazing Grace outside of Westminster Abbey in the present day. Knowing all that Western Civ has been through (with England's leadership for so many centuries) to the current time, when the very cultures of most of Europe and Britain are being willingly surrendered, I cried in the theater.
