A, mall of, all things called, America
some of my favorites things in the USA,
are found in Minnesota,
some of my favorite people too,
they have a Lutheran background like me
or not,
they are Norwegian in heritage,
or not
woe be gone,
a lake of the lack of despair,
Minnesota has lakes
hundreds thousands,
some very cool things go on there
that squelch despair,
crank the volume of human warmth,
they have Clouds too,
and choirs of kids that sing in a Mall, of America
to celebrate the life of one their own,
who fought a battle but not alone,
although he knew
yes he knew, few would pay a higher cost
once the battle was over and not at a loss
but a gain,
a gain in full measure,
that he may not be, for sure there to enjoy.
