Lately I Think of My Country

Lately I think of my country

way more than ever before.

The beauty takes my breath away,

her majestic mountains and rolling seashores.

Fourth of July is upon us,

our independence proclaimed long ago.

I think of the ones who died for us

and pray for all of their souls.

At the annual fireworks show

I get chills up and down my spine.

The children screech with delight,

I shed a tear for this country of mine.

As we gather with family and friends

we pray for peace this year.

We salute you our country America,

and drink a toast to you filled with cheer!

I pledge Alliegiance to the flag

of the United States of America

and to the Republic for which it stands,

one nation UNDER GOD, indivisible,

with Liberty and Justice for all.
