Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

America: Land of Glory

My burdened country, tis of thee
Still beautiful are its halcyon skies
America! Free of woes we long to be.
God, shed Your grace upon blind eyes.
Unite us with love and brotherhood
Enlighten our hearts to do only good.

Make us torchbearers for a better life
to achieve all our hopes and dreams.
Rid us of the political woes and strife...
the past four years of lies and schemes.
America! We've lived in days of fears
It's time to stop spilling sorrowful tears.

As imperfect humans, we all have flaws
America!   America! The country we love.
There's a reason we should obey its laws
God commands it from his throne above.
Across the plains and from sea to sea
We're thankful for mountains of majesty.

We renounce slander against your name
by those who smear and propagandize.
Prigs who harass and vilify with false claim
that America is a country without a heart
but that kind of attitude is one we chastise.
America! This is just a chapter in your story.
Your light will shine again in wondrous glory.

Victor Buhagiar July 6, 2021 at 10:15 AM This is almost a prayer to USA. There is much to change to achieve perfection. Yet from the pictures I see, USA is such a lovely place. Hugs. Jenna Logan July 6, 2021 at 10:54 AM Perfection will not be possible until the world is reigned by God. There should be lots of prayers being offered to right the wrongs, not only in America, but across the globe. Thanks for reading, Victor.
