BEAUTIFUL AMERICA

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

America, a land of beauty

And still the land of the free.

Because our men and women,

 Fought and died for you and me. 

It is the home of the brave,

A land to be proud of,

For we are a country united,

With hearts filled with love.

When I see the American flag,

Flying  red, white, and blue,

I think of those who left to fight,

And families that wait here for you.

A mother and dad,

Wives and children too,

Waiting daily with hope,

You'll be returning soon.

Our prayers are, that you will be safe,

And soon at home again,

Walking down the church aisle,

Holding hand in hand.

For we have sent up many prayers,

That God will see you through.

The struggles war does bring,

For you and the families too.

We'll pledge allegiance to our flag,

And pray to God above,

For He will hear our prayers,

And answer them as He always does.

I love my country,

And for what she stands.

Though many trials and hardships come,

God still has blessed this land.

When I think of America,

I see the shining seas,

And the wonderful nation ,

She had come to be.

America the beautiful,

The land of the free.

I pray God gives protection,

That we might forever be.
