My America makes me Smile!Poem By: Emily Enger

In another land he fights for me

The bold

The brave,

The lives they save

As the yellow sun shines

He returns and my eyes glow,

He smiles as my arms open with a flow

He’s in my arms tight with a hold,

My America makes me Smile.

My clothes on your back

My shoes cover your feet,

What’s mine is yours, in time of need

Your thankful for me,

I’m happy to help

As we build the brown soil brings comfort to life

And your happiness is all I need,

My America makes me Smile.

We seek high

We seek low,

We’re determined to find a cure

Your sister, your friend

Fighting to live,

That’s what the pink bow symbolizes,

A miracle in survival

My America makes me Smile.

My white heart lies within you

The rays of sun on my face,

The missing piece to my puzzle

Till death due us part,

The flutters in my stomach

With each other forever,

My America makes me Smile.

It’s half of you in a bundle

They call you mommy,

You kiss their boo boos

You encourage the stories of fairies

and places far far away with pirates and mermaids,

Unconditional love

My America makes me Smile.

Merry-go-rounds and spinning tea cups Your stomach hurts from laughing to much,

Mom and Dad with fanny packs, Family pictures of the blue ocean brings life to the

vacation,With everlasting memories you’ll never forget

My America makes me Smile.

Years of hard work

Late nights cramming,

The end of an amazing chapter

The beginning of a new one,

Excited and scared

As you toss your cap

Tears of joy as you say goodbye

My America makes me Smile.

Small and Cuddly as they whine

Bugs taste bad, they will find.

Playful and energetic they discover their exotic world,

Every smell is new and interesting.

Nap time on your face

While dreams fluster of chasing squirrels in yellow fields,

My America makes me Smile.

My faith on a cross

I kneel, pray, and share,

Light my orange candle to bring warmth to my loved one.

I feel happy thinking of you

What would you do?

How you would live?

I feel your presence around me

My America makes me Smile.

Red, White, and Blue Fireworks on the Fourth,

Cheers to our independence,

For our freedom to say, think, and act.

Raise your glass ,

And toast with me to our sacred country,

My America makes me Smile.
