American Treasures

How I feel about America

American Treasures

By: Gene Johns 

 

The treasures of this world

Diamonds, silver and gold

Mean all the world to some I know

At least that's what I'm told

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln

And her founding fathers of long ago

They're the diamonds of her history

They're the diamonds of her soul

Her constitution is as pure as silver

And it always seems to shine

Through all its trails and tribulations

It has eloquently stood the test of time

Our love for her, precious and true

Is her ever-yeilding vein of gold

And the labor of love we have given her

Is one of the greatest stories ever told

I know I'll never be poor

Because if I may be so bold

America means so much more to me

Than diamonds, silver or gold
