233 Years

Two hundred and thirty-three years
Our country has been alive,
Whether it be depression, civil war
Or terrorist attacks, we somehow survive,
The United States has been blessed
With abundance and plenty
Million of people have come
To experience the land of opportunity,
But let us not forget the ones
Who gave their lives to freedom's cause,
Most now lay in unmarked graves
Dying without honor or applause,
Let us not forget the freedoms
They paid for with sincerity,
Their blood paved the way for us
To live in peace and prosperity,
And let us not forget our God
The one who got us to this place,
We aren't here because of our strength
But only by His sovereign grace.
