My America
I celebrate my country everyday that I live,
everyday that I wake up free to do as
I choose, go where I please, worship in my way
and speak my mind without fear of reprisal.
I am awed by the overwhelming splendor
and beauty of my America.
We are a people joined together by love,
duty and friendship. When other countries
in the world suffer catastrophic disasters,
we Americans are the first to respond
to a call of help. With unselfish love
and caring hearts we share our money,
food, time and prayers to those in need.
I celebrate the goodness and glory
of this great country. The glory we would
not have but for the many men and women
who so proudly serve and defend
this land. I humbly salute them and those who
have lost their lives in honor of America.
I celebrate the vast number of cultures
in this country, a people as varied right
here in America as in the whole world.
I celebrate and honor the Native American Indian
who has sacrificed and suffered for so many years.
I celebrate the great institution known as family,
where love stems and flows forever.
From Mom's apple pie and wisdom, to Dad's
wealth of knowledge and guidance . We gather
together in love and laughter...and freedom.
