America: Why I Love Her

You ask me why I love her? Well, give me time, and I'll explain...
Have you seen a Kansas sunset or an Arizona rain?
Have you drifted on a bayou down Louisiana way?
Have you watched the cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay?

Have you heard a Bobwhite calling in the Carolina pines?
Or heard the bellow of a diesel in the Appalachia mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you when you hear her waters roar?
Do you look with awe and wonder at a Massachusetts shore...
Where men who braved a hard new world, first stepped on Plymouth Rock?
And do you think of them when you stroll along a New York City dock?

Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies...way up high?
Have you seen the sun come blazing down from a bright Nevada sky?
Do you hail to the Columbia as she rushes to the sea...
Or bow your head at Gettysburg...in our struggle to be free?

Have you seen the mighty Tetons? ...Have you watched an eagle soar?
Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri's shore?
Have you felt a chill at Michigan, when on a winters day,
Her waters rage along the shore in a thunderous display?
Does the word "Aloha"... make you warm?
Do you stare in disbelief When you see the surf come roaring in at Waimea reef?

From Alaska's gold to the Everglades...from the Rio Grande to Maine...
My heart cries out... my pulse runs fast at the might of her domain.
You ask me why I love her?... I've a million reasons why.
My beautiful America... beneath Gods' wide, wide sky.

A Brief, Shameless Plug: The whole point of FictionPress is for writers to be able to put their work on a public forum, and then get feedback from other writers to help them improve. The first part's easy to accomplish. The second part...? Not always so much. Sometimes it's so frustrating trying to get a decent amount of reviews on this site. It's just such a wide venue, you could get lost in here! In order to help bridge the gap between writers and reviewers, a new forum has recently been created: 'U Write It, We Read It, We Review It!' The title says it all. By joining this forum, you can not only get a direct connection to other people who are ready and willing to read and review your work, you can also get a direct connection to other people who have come to get their own work reviewed, who are dedicated to becoming better writers. As a member myself, I highly recommend checking it out. It can be reached under its title, or from the author's profile of its main moderator, Frap. If you're at all interested, just come on over, subscribe, and pledge yourself both to getting reviews and to giving them! We'd love to have you join us!(Taken from Eilwynn's profile, cuz I liked it !) (And I stole it from Rose so yeah, it was pretty cool!)(and I stole it from Frap, so, yeah, this thing is makin' the rounds!)
