My America makes me Smile!Poem By: Emily Enger

In another land he fights for meThe 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 backMy shoes cover your feet,

What’s mine is yours, in time of needYour 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 workLate 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 whineBugs taste bad, they will find.

Playful and energetic they discover their exotic world,Every smell is new and interesting.

Nap time on your faceWhile dreams fluster of chasing squirrels in yellow fields,

My America makes me Smile.

My faith on a crossI 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 meMy 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.
