My Country poem
Dedicated to the forward thinkers of this great country
Above all other else will I place thee at my heart
Against all other else will I treasure to guide thee
Under thy guidance have life been bestowed upon me
My young and my youth have thou stood besides me
Waving thy hand before I knew thee and lowering thyself to stop me
Your broad stripes are enduring and your proud stars are everlasting
O country of my birth and right and potion
I will never forget thee in thy distress you chose careful hands to guide thee
Rich are your boundless energy and heroic is your fountain
Your skies are filled with the clouds of blue and the arising of red
Your passion fills my innermost being and gives life to our creed
O country of my loyalty I do love thee and shall never forget thy blessings
Where others have failed thou has found a way to uplift
Where others have lost thou has found a way to build
And where tears lie that fertile ground to endless joy
My honor comes from loving thee and my honor comes from knowing thee
From fulfilling thy earnest plead and hearing thy powerful call
My country I do love thee and shall always think of thee
Forever are yours and this loyalty shall not part with words alone
We shall be forever intertwined and the fruits of our labor shall live on
Words alone shall not be the end of us but forever always my country
My home my life and my duty are bound to thee
Let hopes come to this that my country become our country our homeland
Let it be bright let it shine with light and always shine in good times and bad times. Amen.
