My color that I chose is green. Green not only is the color of success, but the vibrant hue of Oregon. All of the abundant forest and fields of grass radiate one common color, green.
Us Oregonians commonly take our state’s beautiful color for granted. Not many places are this vibrant with so many trees and fresh oxygen to breath.
Green is also one of the colors of the highly successful Oregon Ducks. Along with bright electric yellow, when duck fans fill Autzen stadium, the colors are both electrifying and distracting to the other teams and fans.
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
- Brandon Heath, “Give me your eyes”
Beyond the boundaries of your city’s lights,
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself,
When that moment finally comes,
I’ll be there to help.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I’ll be right here.
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there.
When there are people crying in the streets,
When they’re starving for a meal to eat,
When they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here underneath my wing,
You can rest your head.
Hope and pray that you’ll never need me,
But rest assured I will not let you down.
I’ll walk beside you but you may not see me,
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.
On that day when you don’t have the strength for the burden you bear,
I’ll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there.
-Three Doors Down, “Citizen Soldiers”
We pass their glances each day not knowing where they come from or why they are where they are. They all have a story and a special gift to give to the world, if only someone would take time to listen and help. I hope that this video inpired you. Just know that these people deserve a smile and a small gesture to know that you care. We are all in this world together.
