My Country, 'Tis of TheeMy country,' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty, to thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
*My initial thoughts on President Elect Obama - Congratulations to him and his supporters. As an American Patriot I hope that he is a successful President. I'm ecstatic that an African American has been elected by the popular vote. What an historic time in American History! I love my country and am, as always, proud to be an American. Wow, an African American First Family. What an amazing country we call Home!

love your thoughts, very well said!:)
That is the only good thing I can think of right now, is that it will be good for African American families and children as long as he remains a good example to them. :)
