Happy Birthday America!

God Bless America, 

Please, dearest God, bless our country and our people

Land that I love. 

We have this wonderful, beautiful place.

Stand beside her, and guide her 

We can't do this alone.

Thru the night with a light from above. 

Your light shines in the darkness

From the mountains, to the prairies, 

We are many people, but one land

To the oceans, white with foam 

We come together

God bless America, My home sweet home.

Because this is our home and we are family.


My dearest friends . . .  let's stop with the vitriol, the hatred, the malice, and all the things that divide us. We are all Americans. Let's work together to solve so many of the problems we all face. 

We can do this. 

Tearing each other apart is destroying this wonderful country we are calling home. 

Our problems are not so insurmountable that we can't come together and work out a solution. 

Our country was built on great ideas. Our first great idea was independence. And we took it from there.

We can do this.

Happy birthday, America! Here's to another 240 years!
