My Country

Knows no bounds of the human heart.

Knows no end to kindness.

Has no bars upon the windows.

Frequently keeps the doors unlocked

and invites you inside with open arms.

Flies a flag of red and white stripes

and stars on a blue field.

Remembers the fallen who have died

so that freedom may live

and tyranny be gone forever.

You cannot take away this country

for it LIVES inside hearts and minds

that cherish it.

even if this country seems a myth these days, it still lives in the heart of many of us...

someday, tyranny gone forever? what a thought.

Thank you for reading Jacob.
