Oh beautiful it is to awaken each day, <br />To have choices to make... <br />And aspire to achieve to unlimited heights. <br />With a doing to have no one refuse what I like. <br /> <br />Oh beautiful it is to feel free to take steps, <br />In any direction I wish to then select what's next. <br />And then to change my mind if I so please. <br />Or then leave this process to sit and breathe easily. <br /> <br />This... <br />Is 'my' America. Happy Birthday U.S.A. <br />Happy July 4th! <br />No other place can I have it this way.<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-my-america/
