by Dominic de Souza
America, my beautiful America,
Born in a storm of tears and rebels,
Watered by patience, pride and joy,
Nourished by prayer and labor,
And blessed by God with freedom.
Your stripes and your stars
Are my shield and my cloak,
Your eagles’ my soul soaring high,
Your plains and your mountains
The cradle in which I learned my Faith.
America, my beautiful America,
The night is darker now, and the winds
Beat strong against our homes.
Don’t fear, your children are with you,
For freedom comes from the heart of God.
About Dominic de Souza
I am a pipe-smoking, sword-wielding, book-loving Catholic author, who loves writing, reading and illustration. I’m a hobbit at heart, but I live in Gondor, and send home stories from the frontlines. I’m married, and work as a graphic designer for Seton Home Study School. My website is www.catholicauthor.us
