The American Dream is
when everyone can get home and eat dinner every night,
when family can "hang out"
and spend time with eachother lovingly.
When given the chance you choose to be with your
family because you love them.
When life's full of every happiness, the small and the
large.
When things have no need to get better because they're
perfect how they are.
When sickness really is no sickness at all
because your loving family will take care
of you always.
When you love who you are naturally
not needing to improve.
That is the American Dream.
