4th of July Eve

Patriotic-Loyally supporting one's country

see loyally

see allegiance

see how words can be twisted

I love my country

Its hopes, its dreams, its people.

We are so much more

Than boundaries on a map

Or words in a pledge.

We are the offspring

Of our ancestral homes

Taking what's best

From our parent countries.

We are young,

Growing and changing

And learning from our mistakes.

Like a child

Full of wonder and potential

We emerge.

I love America

For its possibilities.
