The America That I Love


The America That I Love

The America that I love
offered a home to immigrants
who sought freedom of religion
and an escape from tyranny.
Our freedoms of speech, the press and
peaceful assembly symbolize
the America that I love.

We have never been perfect, but
we have worked to improve and our
democracy has been admired.
Now, we stray from the essence of
the America that I love.

This poem is written in the form called a rondine.
