My Country Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

- * MY COUNTRY * -

Why do they hate us?
What e're did we do?
I just don't understand it
For I hate so few.

I know, in this country,
Our Freedom will win.
Why would they come here
A new life to begin,

If they don't like our freedom
Why don't they just stay
In their very own country...
Live their lives their own way.

You cash in on our freedoms
To damage our laws.
I know we're not perfect
We know there are flaws.

But this is MY COUNTRY
And if you don't agree
Don't try to change
What's important to me.

In this Country we're blessed
By our Father above
And you'll never destroy
All these things that I love.

Trying won't gain you
Even one little thing
For We will strike out
Just to let Freedom Ring.

You might try to destroy it
And make us your slave,
But I'll tell you, Al Queda,
You'd better behave.

Our Warriors are awesome
Our weapons, top notch.
You'll never get past us
For we stand here at watch.

For Freedom, we'll fight you
For we'll perservere.
With God Blessing America
We have nothing to fear.

This is MY COUNTRY
God Bless Us I Pray
For freedom reign's o're us
Forever this day.
