Yesterday, during my English lesson I was asked to write a poem about my home. Well, I did one with a broader subject... My country!
Here it is:
“Here I Stand!” by Ian Jay Wilson
Here I stand today, on this blessed land;
Bought with the price of blood, here I stand!
Freedom to speak, to sing, to praise my Savior;
Only by the sacrifice of others, I must treat it with proper behavior.
Praise the Lord for placing me here, with friends and family so dear;
To laugh, to play, to sing with those so near, if only just to hear.
Living on this great and prosperous land, is a blessing grand;
By His grace alone, here I stand!
