Charles Reese Poet Sonnet

The Good Old Usa

This country is young when compared to some
A prodigy though now I do declare
A one time she took in all that would come
Then said go west explore this land so fair
There were inventers here like Edison,
Tesla and Bell, writers like Clemens  too
It's a land were freedom has surely come
It's a country were I can worship true
Sometimes we have spats like any family
But we come out stronger then we were 'fore
To build a land that so many envy
That guards are needed so our borders secure
I love this land that I have always known
It is were I cherish what I call home

Connie Marcum Wong November 6, 2018 at 2:13 PM I liked you poem very much Charles. I am not against immigrants entering our country if they do it legally. It took my son a few years to get his Japanese wife to America. We sponsored her, still it took going through a lot of red tape. They have been married for 17 years now and live in California. Cheers, Connie : ) Charles Reese November 9, 2018 at 7:20 AM I agree with you Connnie . I love the beauty of diversity just done legally. Glad it worked out with your son.
