Leaves On A Tree Poem by Randy McClave

Like the tree with many colored leaves
We are a country of many different beliefs,
We are a diverse nation for the many
And we are the melting pot for any.

We are not one just religion or one race
Just come and look upon our face,
You will see us all, and our own heritage
To stand united, we will that I pledge.

We fight, but we will also stand together
Lady liberty she is still our mother,
We say welcome to all that comes to our land
And for their right for freedom we will stand.

We are the rich and we are the poor
We are the citizens from shore to shore,
Justice for us all, liberty holds the weights
We are the people of the United States.

When our flag flutters in the wind
A message to the rest of the world it will send,
We are a country with many languages and different voices
For freedom and independence our soul rejoices.

As a family in this country we all belong
Our people are proud and our land is strong,
We stand upon our feet and not upon a bent knee
As we look upon the leaves upon a tree.
