My Dear Country |

My dear Country...
For two hundred thirty five years
you
have led the way to liberty's door
and welcomed
millions to your shore.
You have stood a beacon of
hope
A land where dreams come true
For millions and
millions more
Since the First Americans proclaimed
Their independence over two hundred
Years ago.
You
have nurtured the hearts and
Souls of Americans young and
old
And your splendor in a world gone
A stray- has
never lost its glow.
Your spacious sky, purple
mountains,
And shining seas are still there to
Remind
us of those brave Americans
Who put the cause of liberty
and justice
First.
My dear country...
Under
your banner of red, white,and
Blue, slaves were set free.
And women gained equal rights to liberty.
In the
light of Lady Liberty strangers
Have adopted you as their
own country
And swore to defend you at any cost
To die
for you if need be.
Tho you my dear country
are not
Perfect in every way you are still the land
Of
our Forefathers; the land Americans
Poured their blood,
sweat, tears, and
Prayers into, to build you up so grand.
Americans cherish the liberty we
Possess every night
and day.
And in out American hearts we know
There is
no other country in the world
Like the USA.
Let
every American stand to honor this
Great land this fourth
of July,
As old Glory ripples in the sky
And once more
determine ourselves to
Keep America free.
As we gather
together to stand proudly
In remembrance of those who
gave so
Much to grow for us the Liberty Tree. |
