Poetry: Proud to be an American

by Aria Cian

Created on: April 15, 2008

i am my father's daughter
i know freedom's never free
there's always a price to pay
they die for God and country

i am an American
the product of a melting pot
my ethnicity's unknown
Bbut my loyalty can't be bought

i am a strong woman
i can make it on my own
that doesn't mean I want to
spend my life alone.

i am a christian
in God I always trust
but often times the church
fills me with disgust

i am not alone
there are others like me here
above all else,
we don't want to disappear
