Happy Birthday, USA

It’s the time to fly Old Glory,

On our country’s national day,

And join with friends and family,

To say “Happy Birthday,” USA,

Many fought before us,

For the freedoms we hold dear,

And, still our troops are fighting,

In lands so far from here.

May they return safely to their loved ones at home.

In a world so often crazy,

And fraught with so much strife,

My dream is that we learn respect,

And value human life.

I hope we teach our children,

To cherish this great earth,

We can show them by example,

Almost from their birth.

I dream of having peaceful days,

Without a single war,

When countries learn diplomacy,

And to negotiate much more.

My hopes are for a cancer cure,

For there to be enough to eat,

Of streets that have no violence,

Of relationships without deceit.

I dream that all can worship freely,

No matter what they believe,

And that every single child,

Is given the ability to achieve.

I pray that in my lifetime,

My hopes and dreams come true.

I will try to help them all along,

In everything I do.
