Welcome To America

Welcome to America, land of the free.
Stomp on our toes and sorry you will be.
Respect isn’t given, it must be earned.
Head my words, or we will teach and you will learn.

Make no mistake, we will always fight.
We protect the weak and those gone from sight.
Don’t tread on me or those now gone.
Or you will feel our might and see our brawn.

Compassion and shelter, is ours to give.
Respect us all and where we live.
If you’re a guest, on this sacred ground.
It holds our blood, just look around.

A lot here are very patriotic. We are just very thankful for our freedom and the many who have died to keep it that way.
