I have never seen priceless things and priceless people happen before THEY WERE THERE and thought I was not going to have anything to think about, until I saw her standing against the tree. and don't get me wrong, I am making sure that I don't miss anything, it is not easy not changing; tough in one place, no matter where it is, somehow courage has one like their surroundings Maybe it is better not to go, but on the road in America, nothing is better than that, it is called earn the right to sing a song

This road-and-tree page treats courage, priceless people, and America as things one must earn through movement and attention rather than inherit.

The handwritten THEY / WERE / THERE makes the remembered presence more explicit. The speaker keeps returning to the same ethic: the right to sing comes after the road, not before it.
