America, the Beautiful
Oh! How Wonderful!
My soul sorely aches
For the garbage put into our lakes.
America
"And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good"…

Independence Day Celebration Under A Friendly Shade
America The Beautiful is a wonderful song, and it brings to mind this July 4th that America is really beautiful. There are spacious lakes, skies, mountains, and oceans. God has shed His grace on all of it. As we pause and give thanks for His abundant blessings, let us also remember that it is up to us, the people, to keep America beauiful. It is still truly the "land of opportunity." However, when I look at the countryside I often find litter along the highways, washed up on the beaches, and scattered along the trailways. What a sad state our country is in when we do not appreciate and respect our nation and country enough to keep it clean and litter free. I wrote the following poem several years ago and hope people will take it to heart to keep America beautiful.
AMERICA
Oh! How Wonderful! Such a disrespectul mistake To throw bottles and cans onto our interstates.
America, the Beautiful Oh! How Wonderful! What a privilege to abide And not litter our countryside.
America, the Beautiful Oh! How Wonderful! Mary Crisp Jameson
