America is.....

A poem about America.

By caroline c. from Scott County High School in Kentucky

America is beautiful

America is powerful

America is the place to be.

I love it here.

I love our flag.

The red, white, and blue.

Home of the brave.

This country is strong.

This country is incredible.

America is brave.

We have pride.

We have faith.

We have love.

The star spangled banner

We never let it fall

It flows in the wind

Showing our freedom.

America is diverse.

Soldiers fight to protect us

They sacrifice their lives

To protect us and

Keep our country safe.

America is beautiful.
