Happy 233rd Birthday, America

Why it seems like only yesterday you were just a toddler. You've come through a lot, but I'm sure you'll presevere. ...despite who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or the Congress.

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Oh, by the way, happy birthday, Grandpa.

Love,
Sheryn
