[Vision2020] America My Country

America My Country
 
by Florence D. Schmalke

It's great to live in a country big and strong 
It doesn't matter if you are young or old 
Our thoughts are as good as gold 
Where we go on land or sea 
We can always be happy and free 
Free to express our thoughts and then 
Even express them over again 
To different people no matter what color or race 
In America for them there is always a place 
To make a home 
For their families to roam 
The fields; the woods. 
The countryside 
Especially the young man and his bride 
For seniors and teens 
In formals or jeans 
Who ever it may be 
Remember we can always be free 
Just like a bird chirping, singing happily. 
Like chipmunks in the wood 
Calling to his mate and being good. 
Good to his family  
And Grandpa talking to his Emily 
Pondering over ideas and thoughts galore 
And, off to bed and listen to him snore 
Taken up in the morning early light 
Whenever it is nice and bright 
In America where we are always free 
Where in New York Harbor stands the Statue of Liberty 
Her hand raised high toward the sky 
Where our planes in freedom fly 
Where all of us want to be 
America for you and me 
Liberty and freedom will never end 
I'll get down on both my knees and bend 
To thank God I am an American 
In a country great and grand 
Who wants to be anywhere else 
Except in America where we can do so much expand 
America will always be my land.
