Why I Love My Country

I love her magnificent majesty
Her colors: RED, WHITE and BLUE
from her mighty mountain peaks
to her delta lows
the way her mighty rivers flow
Her frozen land of glaciers
to her deserts barren and cold
I love my mighty country.

Upon whose rocky roads I've run
I love her Pride and Pomp
I love her patience not to tromp
I love her freedom, she lets me be me
with responsibility
and the SISU to pay the dues

To take care of me at all times, but
should I need a hand,
she is grand and lends a hand up
-not a hand out

She said, I could have an education
that I would have to work for it
no one would hand me my grades
It's a prudent decision she has made...

I love her, because I can run
through the roses at three am
and dream of faraway lands
Be happy in my skin
Oh, yes, I love my homeland
She is Grand!!!!
