God Bless America
I did not feel like writing to try and capture where we are in America, the greatest nation in the world. However, I wanted to express my state of mind, even if it means through the words of someone else.
God Bless America
“While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:
God Bless America land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam
God Bless America
My home sweet Home.”
