America
This land of sweeping majesty
And awesome beauty
Thankful for the
Mayflower
Whose passengers persevered in triumph
And gave us this national holiday
Thankful for our
Equality
Where "all men are created equal"
And women and people of color too
Thankful for our
Rights
To vote, to worship, to live free
However we choose
Thankful for our
Individuality
And the diversity
That makes our nation great
Thankful to be a
Citizen
And to my parents
For immigrating here
Thankful for the
Amazing Grace
That lives within each of us
Despite our differences
Thankful for the
Native Americans
Their culture and their history
Have shaped us all
I am, and forever will be
Thankful to be
American
