The Land

by Esther Thornburg
(Cantril, Iowa. USA)

Great is the land of the free
To view, to maintain, to keep
To do unto others as you
Would have them do unto you.

Strengthen the home of the free
Let each be all they need to be
Seek the Maker's planned way
Acts of love, we must display.

Make where you are a little brighter.
Help each burden to be lighter.
In God we trust, to guide
To replenish, rebuild, revive.
