If This Country Could Talk
by Perry L. Angelo

Welcome,
To America.
It is like no other...
The beauty and magic
This country holds are as
Innumerable
As grains of sand
Between your toes.
From the
Mountains in Connecticut...
To the
Break in Hawaii.
The majesty this country
Has had bestowed,
Is indescribable.
Because if this country
Could talk, it would boast
About its beautiful deserts
And glorious wheatfields.
It would say
That the waters in Florida are
as beautiful as a
beam of light bursting
through a crystal window,
shining down a rainbow pattern.
This land is vast but
If it could talk,
Our country would say
It was our home.
