Pangie Went To Washington, Dcc
That great river, the Potomac.
Means so very much to me.
In our nation's capitol,it's full
of American history and glory!
As a teen, our high school
visited that famous city in
this great American nation.
Such an excited class with
Samsonite luggage at that
train station!
All dressed in nice skirts and
sweaters.
Actual, leather shoes, made
in this nation.
Nuns for companions, they
were good women and kind
And of course, to be sure, we
stayed morally in line.
The monuments, granite and
marble, took your breath away.
Pride in my American soul,
will never stray.
Of course, I am aware how
some Americans and others
cannot see through my eyes.
To them..America and its
citizenry are something to
despise!
I stood at Lincoln's overwhelming
feet and I had to just smile.
Because from that moment on,
I became, forevermore....
America's blessed child!
