The Mother of All Nations

America is the mother of all nations,
she gathers her children under
one beautiful flag that forever
is a testimony of pride and greatness!

America welcomes everybody who struggles
and shelters them under her protective wings;
whoever held on a lovely dream, but it was 
never realized: " Soon it will! " she promises.

America holds out her long arms of generosity,
to anyone seeking refuge from dire poverty
and tyranny to share the ideals of democracy:
to whoever is oppressed, she offers liberty!

America is the only safe shore for those
battered by high waves and wild winds;
come to her harbor away from the drifting waters:
she will hear the cry of freedom in every voice!

Thank you for your comment, Charlie. This is my ode to America and I am glad that you like it. These are difficult times for the USA, but there are patriots who fight for those ideals of freedom and liberty! May God bless them and may God bless America. Have a wonderful evening, my friend.
