America, America, <br />How I love you so, <br />We are richly blessed from up above, <br />Where all good blessings flow. <br /> <br />What other land upon this earth, <br />Like ours could ever be, <br />We are duty bound and ready to fight, <br />From sea to shining sea. <br /> <br />She has conquered lands around the world, <br />In great and numerous wars, <br />Let freedom ring for everyone, <br />From shore to gleaming shore. <br /> <br />Her gallant men strong and true, <br />Bear arms to keep her safe, <br />Old glory flies in distant lands, <br />None can take her place. <br /> <br />Her brave young men in foreign lands, <br />Go forth that freedom may flow, <br />That this great land may forever stand, <br />America, America, how I love you so. <br /> <br />Author, <br />Franklin Spriggs <br />April 26,2008 <br /> <br />Dedicated to our Veterans, (active and inactive)<br /><br />Franklin Spriggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/america-america-how-i-love-you-so/
