\"Yosemite\"<\/p>\n

By Roger Robicheau<\/p>\n

How beautiful this land we love
We cherish all good people of<\/p>\n

With pride we call this home our own
Oh how our seed of freedoms grown<\/p>\n

American is what we are
Our time has nurtured us so far<\/p>\n

For truth and justice we do strive
Our laws are meant to not deprive<\/p>\n

We know we’re not the perfect place
As we are of the human race<\/p>\n

In God we trust along our way
His goodness near, both night and day<\/p>\n

So please do stop and pray awhile
Ask help in facing each new mile<\/p>\n

And now I’ll end with words so clear
Concerning freedom we hold dear<\/p>\n

Let Grateful Thought — Well Deep Inside
For Soldiers Brave — Our Country’s Pride<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
