America: Land of Glory

My burdened country, tis of thee Still beautiful are its halcyon skies America! Free of woes we long to be. God, shed Your grace upon blind eyes. Unite us with love and brotherhood Enlighten our hearts to do only good. Make us torchbearers for a better life to achieve all our hopes and dreams. Rid us of the political woes and strife... the past four years of lies and schemes. America! We've lived in days of fears It's time to stop spilling sorrowful tears. As imperfect humans, we all have flaws America! America! The country we love. There's a reason we should obey its laws God commands it from his throne above. Across the plains and from sea to sea We're thankful for mountains of majesty. We renounce slander against your name by those who smear and propagandize. Prigs who harass and vilify with false claim that America is a country without a heart but that kind of attitude is one we chastise. America! This is just a chapter in your story. Your light will shine again in wondrous glory.

Some people are never happy unless they’re mocking someone or something. He thinks he has a handle on facts, but is terribly misguided. ThNks, David and Jan.

This is almost a prayer to USA. There is much to change to achieve perfection. Yet from the pictures I see, USA is such a lovely place. Hugs.

Perfection will not be possible until the world is reigned by God. There should be lots of prayers being offered to right the wrongs, not only in America, but across the globe. Thanks for reading, Victor.
