Give Thanks

Take a very good look
at our great country's living book
with new pages being added each day
to the blessed life of the USA
that goes beyond what words can convey.

America's wonderful unfolding story
is one of freedom, honor, friendship, and glory
strongly rooted from Her founding seeds,
sustained by proud beliefs, brave deeds,
united will . . . and unyielding love
of our nation under God above,
which we celebrate on July 4th each year
in memory of all that we hold very dear.

So, give thanks for where you are
and to those who are near and far
doing their valiant best to protect us all
and keep our beloved USA strong and tall.
