A Love letter to America
It was easy to Love you, Columbia,
When you were young and fair.
Then opportunity was boundless;
Your land was rich beyond compare.
True you were born in conflict
And the years were not always kind.
Some say they have cause to hate you;
That to injustice you’ve been blind.
Evil men have harmed you
With their crass cupidity.
This current crop of “leaders”
Blunder repeatedly.
You do not stand as tall and strong
As when I met your first.
I see worry lines around your eyes
This year has been the worst.
Still, with all your imperfections,
None could take the place of you.
You still can take my breath away
Draped in Red white and blue.
A love letter to America for her birthday , despite all her faults, she is the last best hope of humanity
