Land of the Free

Letting go of everything for today
Acting as there wasn't a care in the world
Not knowing when dawn came 
Desultory we are not

Oh, how it feels to be free 
Fabricating our lives out of greatness

Tearjerkers not allowed beyond this point 
Headstrong on having fun 
Embracing the joy and happiness 

Free of all our worries and problems 
Reuniting with all you old friends 
Elegant as the royals 
Energized still, even after hours 

 LAND OF THE FREE!

I think you did a great job with this acrostic. Sorry for the welcome you got below, we all make mistakes like that and I am sure there was a nicer way of saying your entry in the contest was not valid. Just my opinion.
