America, America

America, America

With her opened doors

A country so blessed

From its center to its shores.

A multitude of Americans

Some from near and far

All have different colors

But all have stripes and stars.

With its chips and bruises

With its cracks and mars

America still stands

Despite its battle scars.

America, America

On this precious day

We celebrate our freedoms

And are blessed in every way.

Happy Independence Day!

A Poem of Salvation

¹I am a gorgeous shell

Beautiful from the start

“Fearfully and wonderfully made”²

But host an evil heart.

Dirty, impure I am.

I made my life a jail

Locked behind thick bars

And sentenced to life in Hell.

But now I have my Savior

Jesus Christ is the One.

He came to save humanity

He's God's “only Son”³.

Jesus came to Earth

To save my fated soul;

Gave me a brand-new heart

He's far better than gold.

My shell is beautiful

And safe is my spirit,

But only because of Jesus.

He's the one I hold dearest.

Have a Blessed Memorial Day

Hello readers,


I hope you all have a safe Memorial Day. I highly appreciate all of the men and women protecting this country as well as those who lost their lives doing so. I also pray for comfort to those who lost loved ones who served and am thankful for these families. Have a blessed evening.
