God Bless America
Autumn leaves a-fluttering free,
To shroud the land around us; a
Day enshrined in history,
To hold us strong and bind us; a
Nation grieves tranquility
That used to help define us; a
World looks on so helplessly,
But hope and faith remind us, a
Roiling mass of turgid sea
May try so hard to break us; a
Foreign hand may raise in glee,
But it will never shake us; a
Place of magic sanctity
Against the foes that tried us; a
Land for heroes, brave and free,
Is where you'll always find us.
Amen.
Dedicated to the memory of the fallen, September 11th 2001.Β Β God bless our American cousins o'er the pond. x
