From the bonds of "taxation without representation" have we come,
A nation driven by unity in diversity, and equality for all,
A nation free from dependence, standing tall,
So thus far have we come, in spite of the struggles,
Thus far have we come in spite of the battles,
And after more than two centuries later,
The Star-Spangled banner still waves,
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave,
And through the progression of time,
And the passage of seasons, we continue to strive on to our prime,
As we remain, America: Still Standing.
The past years have been very challenging,
We've had to deal with issues, so challenging,
We've been tossed to and fro by turbulent tides,
Yet in the midst of it all, we still maintain our prides,
Attacked severally by our enemies,
Lambasted occasionally by those who desire our death,
Hated by those who wish to stifle our breathe,
But through it all, we remain, America: Still Standing,
So as we celebrate our 235th birthday,
On this very historical day,
Let us not forget the almighty,
The one who's been our help in ages past,
Let us remember that we still are "one nation under God",
Therefore let us acknowledge Him in all we do,
Let us return to the foundation of His word,
For if we have come this far by God,
I think we will even go farther by God,
As we make laws and approve legislation,
Let us stop giving room to abomination,
For regardless of what happens, if we hold on to God,
We will always remain, America: Still Standing,
Let us stop the prejudice and the discrimination,
Let us stop hatred and an acrimonious disposition,
Let us stay together and love one another,
Be a helping hand to your next door neighbor,
For though we have varying religious views and belief systems,
Love, respect, equality, unity in diversity, are very important items,
Which we must apply and uphold,
I may not accept your way to God,
But that doesn't mean I should hate you,
So I guess all I'm saying is, Love all, Fear God, even as a nation,
As we continue to remain America: Still Standing.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
