American Flags, Memorial Day, Memorial

Look at the colors of us, in this place called United States.
See the many kinds of us. 
Hear the beauty in our tongues.
Watch the wind kissed sarees and the pride of Kinte cloth.
Under the eagle we stand, together as one in the US,
always reassured at the sight of stars and stripes.

Look at the country of US, that touches from ocean to ocean. 
Praise God for plentiful bounty over a land so precious,
waving wheat, budding fruit and lakes abounding with trout.
All a harvest to support the souls here in the US.
There is no difference between one or another.
All hearts hold fast to the dreams in the US.

Look at the rainbow of us-the rich, poor, children, the homeless,
the gay, White, Latino, Native American, African American, immigrants…………
The list is endless for us in the land of freedom and liberty.
See us, we the people, all the people of the US,
daily declaring their place and promise from the US.
