A Proud American

I am a proud American, until the day I die Though many might ask me why, They are many reasons why this I will say Number one reason is how and to who I pray. Our founding fathers made a great decision When they wrote we all had freedom of religion, To that very thought I am spiritual and proud Until my God I always give my thanks out loud. I am a proud American, I am surely indeed Any book I can freely buy and read, No man can tell me that I can or can't read books Because of their ideas or their looks. No matter whoever is the writer Books motivate and create dreamers and a fighter, Books incite the soul and wills And books create thinkers and doers and ideals. I am a proud American, because of rights For all blacks, Asians, native Americans, Hispanics and whites, No man is ever born better than me As long as we both reside in this great country. No matter if I'm rich or middle class or poor We all are equal at liberty's door, And no matter if the American is female or male Our rights are the same the constitution does tell. I am a proud American, I will always show I will always show my pride wherever that I might go, And I want everyone else to be proud as I am Even or whenever they come here for asylum. We are a country of different religions and races We are a country of different beliefs and also faces, And we are a country created for everyone That is why I am a proud American. Randy L. McClave
