Breathe Free
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
Over horizon replete in mountain or shore
Discover authentic friendship and more.
Debauchery, dawdling, citizens abhor,
They seek an erudite, enlightened mentor.
Folks converse, interact, absent rancor,
America’s greatness they vow to restore.
Always a generous, charitable, outpour,
Optimists naysayers, pessimists, ignore.
We pay homage to heroes we all adore,
Breathe a sigh of relief for
Nobody ever keeps score.
In America, our homeland, liberty explore!
Courageously we open a different door.
Give America your downtrodden and poor,
On the wings of eagles she shall soar!
