“American Heartland”
We have endured the harsh weathering of these years, this year;
Our well-kept facade looking a little worse for the wear.
Still, we consistently raise our standards high, to the sky;
Though at times our foundations creak, weep, and sigh.
And if it all comes crashing down, hope never leaves the heartland;
For we find our knees, our sure footing, and stand.
Kindly,
