Those who have
gone before
shaping the
dream, the vision,
the idea that is
America;
the coming
together of peoples
from all around
the globe;
a patchwork
quilt, a salad,
a melting-pot, a
hearty stew,
worth far more
than gold.
Walking in their
shadows
the saints and
sinners before us
our aspirations
just as high
that this land
would always be free;
a shining city
on the hill
an example to
the nations
of what freedom
should be
in a just and
peaceful world.
