“America”
by Patricia Britt
America is you,
And I whether born to be free,
Or moved here to experience freedom.
Free to worship, and assimilate.
We're all in this beautiful place together,
That some of call heaven on earth.
To be free to come,
And go, and see what we see,
Is the key to unity.
America is the movies,
Theatre, and dance!
The magnificent Grand Canyon,
And glistening shores forevermore.
America is equality,
Trust, and democracy.
My country is ideas,
That last eons.
America is a miracle of wonders for all,
From this continent,
And beyond,
On, and on, and on.
America is a gumbo of shades,
And ethnicities open to all to explore her grace.
America is a tapestry composed,
From jazz to gospel to rock & roll.
That sets your spirit's vision free!
America is forever rising souls,
That brought forth you,
And me in a cool reverie.
Forever we strive to be renewed,
Better than ever!
And the beat goes on!
