I’ve been here since the dawn of time
From shore to shore my beauty shines
I’ve seen Cro-Magnon and T-Rex
I’m filled with wonders to respect
Explorers came upon my shores
They claimed my lands as being theirs
My people who belonged right here
Fled in terror hearts filled with fear
More explorers did come to me
Fought each other but didn’t see
Their blood did soak my hallowed ground
Dead bodies lay without a sound
They proclaimed a country was born
As though they were why I was formed
Forgetting I had always been
By God’s own word did I begin
Centuries passed cities built high
Smoke belching stacks now block my sky
Refuse mounded upon my land
Little respect does come from man
Yet there are some who still will try
To clean my soil and my sky
Cleaning rivers so life returns
Replacing forests they have burned
Yes I am known around the world
From full grown men to little girls
I am a mighty land they say
I am called the U.S.A.

About LaNaye Perkins
“Blessed be God, …….Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 KJV) Every time I go through a trial I get a burning desire to write of it, so I can encourage others with the same comfort God gives me. I remember the day I was called to write. It was 5:00 a.m., Christmas morning in 1995. The Lord woke me up with my testimony in the form of a poem. He let me know while I was writing it down, that I was to share everything He inspired me to write from that day on.I’ve been blessed to be a wife for over 30 years now. My husband and I have two grown sons with wonderful daughter-in-laws, and are blessed with three grandchildren, so far. :) We enjoy all these blessing on our beautiful farm where we have several horses, various dogs, and two little parrots. Along with writing, I love to sing and write short stories with humorous twists. I also love spending time with my family, trail riding, hiking, training my horses, and camping.
