A Glorious Eagle

May America gather and agree To be love-full and malice-free. To unite as one, live one decree From sea to shining sea: To let brotherhood and unity Propel new opportunity. Arise, in new community And crush our land’s disunity. America come, give thanks For the soldiers on foot; in tanks Whose loyalty never broke ranks From interior to outer banks. Come young and old, altogether! We share many a bond and tether. As one nation, we’re strongest together We’re one plumage but many a feather.

Pangie, so honored that you comment on my poems. Our country has flaws, but it has done some great things too. I hope it brings encouragement for Americans to find new strength in unity instead of so much division. All the best to you, Pangie!
