Happy Birthday Usa

Happy birthday USA!
From your birth until today,
You have come a long, long way.

Two hundred forty-five years ago,
The U.S. was birthed in rebellion's pride,
Declaring independency from King George's rule.
Freedom from tyranny would not be denied.

From thirteen states we have grown to fifty,
Through extensive exploration,
Battles fought, purchases,
And fierce determination.

Through the years we became
A leader among the nations.
We've been a beacon of hope,
To those filled with desperation. 

I pray that we will stay the course,
Of freedom and justice for all.
May God continue to bless this land,
Because without Him we will fall.

Happy birthday, USA!
May God give us wisdom to guide our way,
And forgive us when we go astray.

Wonderfully expressed, Kim. People hate the flag and are total ingrates. Glad to see someone like you.. Hope the USA becomes sane again. The body count in Chicago is huge today. Thank you, Pangie xx

Amen my dear friend. If we don't all return to the fold The Shepherd will have to search for His lost sheep. If He gets tired of us always breaking away He may take His hand off of us and then what will we do. A fine write. God Bless, JB
