The Saddness of Death!

America The beautiful has lost her way

There was great hope when she was started that day(1776)

But now her light is fleeting at best

For she's dying a very slow, painful death

The pain she is in are the pangs of death

There is no more hope, for she'll soon be laid to rest

How sad I feel for the loss of it all

The bravest and best can't save her at all

Oh how they tried, as they dug in their heels

To save what was left of The Beauty they feel

No more republic, no more votes

No more freedoms, for there is a lack of HOPE

Where are the patriots, tried and true

Who'll fight for the faithful few?

Is anyone left who remembers Her best?

Or are they all slumbering at their own rest?


I am sad today and everyday. The beauty I have always loved is dying a slow painful death. My eye is now on that Heavenly place where I will be called home to soon.
Death is always sad, especially when it is one you love with all your heart.
Only Christ in His love can give you solace when your loved one dies. A peace that passes all understanding. A calm in the mist of grief. It is a supernatural peace that He gives.
I pray for this peace for America, whom I love so much. I grew up with this love for Her. My parents and teachers instilled this great awesome feeling of Her Greatness. But in the 80"s The Lord was preparing me for this time. Getting me to see that it isn't patriotic feelings for country, but patriotic feelings for Heaven and looking forward to seeing Christ.
I know it was so foreign to me when He told me. But I saw it the way He saw it. It all fell into prospective as He showed me.
So if you are having a hard time dealing with her downfall, look to Christ for His comfort.
