America the Colorful
Posted: July 4, 2014
A July 4th prayer…
The purple mountain majesties
and snow-white Mt. Rainier
remind me of what's grand to me and you.
There's Red Rocks Park and Yellowstone.
Mt. Rushmore's hills are black.
And add to that our flag's red, white and blue.
America is colorful.
The beige and ebony
blend in with those whose skin is tan and brown.
The colors of the rainbow
form the spectrum of our land
that's haloed by the gold of freedom's crown.
God, bless America today
in all its many hues
and may the colors of our nation gleam
as ethnic groups of every kind
and landmarks near and far
become the focus of our leaders' dreams.
