America the Beautiful

America, the beautiful

People came to your shore

Seeking opportunity and chance

Fleeing famine and war

 

America, the beautiful

You opened your arms to welcome

Immigrants from all nations

Who sought refuge to escape the bedlam

 

America, the beautiful

Remember your past and stay true to your roots

Hold on to your values

And remain steadfast in your pursuits

 

Freedom and liberty for all; welcoming refugees to our land

Not shutting down borders, and issuing Muslim bans

I've met many immigrants who fled horrific circumstances and entered our country in pursuit of a better life. I wrote this poem in their honor.
