He's Everything happy in the world with a smile on his face. He's everything fine in the world with a song in his heart. His is hope with a laugh on his lips. He's tomorrow with a twinkle in his eye. His is quick to forgive. His eyes dance at the sight of a pretty girl. His feet tap to pretty tunes. His heart sobs at sorrow. Yes, His is Czech! A Czech carries a bit of his homeland with him wherever he goes - wherever he stands that bit of ground is a little bit of Czechoslovakia. He has filtered out from his homeland and carried the secret of happy laughter the length and breadth of the world. He has fought other peoples wars, tamed other peoples seas. But wherever he has settled, he incoclated his neighbors with his quick laugh and happy heart and his spirit with a fine capacity of enjoying life. And he gave us this special holiday. We are here today, yes, soon your neighbors and friends will borrow a bit of the Czechoslovakian zest and spirit and become a little Czech too. Soon you can see there is a little bit of Czechoslovakian in all of us today. Taken from the Fraternal Herald |
