 "I CAN SEE"

BY THEODORE M. EDWARDS

1987 

I CAN SEE;

Why your windmills, wooden shoes and tulips, have brought you world wide fame. But you have so many things, for which 10 slake a claim. Your highways, trailways, rail- and waterways, are feats to behold, and they are only parts, of a story yet unfold.

 I CAN SEE;

Why your artist stand tall, among the very best, for they've done more with less, than most of the rest, they had no valleys, no desert, no mountainside lo paint, but they captured their subject masterfully, whether broad, or whether faint.

 I CAN SEE;

Your love for music, how important if is to you, by the calibre of your musicians, and the support you give them too. Through your appreciation, you give them inspiration, and through your faith, you give them motivation.

 “ART IS TO THE MIND, WHAT MUSIC IS TO

THE SOUL."

 I CAN SEE;

Your athletes compete, with Ice best in the world, with pride and dignify, every boy and girl.

They are to be admired, among the youth of today, for like so many others, they too, could have gone a stray.

 I CAN SEE;

The premium you put on education, a most vital commodity to the salvation of a nation.

Every one has a chance lo improve their creation, and everyone is encouraged, to use their imagination. Genera lion to generation.

 I CAN SEE;

Your determination is tenacious, during adverse weather situations. Nothing seems to stop you when you have some place to go, be it sunshine, rain, hail, sleet or snow.

 I CAN SEE;

The respect you have for others, who are not the same as you, no matter what their sex or color, no matter what their view. Religion fanatics, political fanatics, find solace within your shores, health food addicts, drug addicts, the pimps and the whores. To me this is freedom, and freedom at its best. And if reigns throughout your country, north, south, east and west.

 My hat goes off, and my heart goes out to you, because you are very special, from my point of view.

 Thanks to the people al TROS, AVRO, VARA and NOS, for they've been most kind. And thanks to your press, for honesty and sincerity, with every written line. Thanks to many others ,too numerous to mention here, for their hospitality and friendship, and things they hold dear.

A special thanks lo the family Rein de Graaff, and the family Peter

Huijts, for their love, and friendship.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Bedankt, dank u, en dank u wel.
