America the Beautiful!
Run with me through the prairies
Stand with me atop the canyons
Look with me down the valleys
Imagine us scaling the mountaintops
Swim with me from river to rivers
Surf with me in blue and green waters
Come and let’s smell the maples together
The acorns and all manner of vegetation
Let us admire the animals in their variety
From the bald eagle to the starfish of the sea
From the great diamondbacks
To the chipmunks that run across your yard
Come and let’s not only touch the flowers
But let’s adorn ourselves in its aroma
And drink from its nectar
Let our feet trek through the red earth
Let our eyes feast upon skyscrapers
And wonders that only some can behold
Oh come my dear one
Come!
Come and let our imagination run wild
Come and let us see life it its fullness
But don’t come and tell me what I already know
That America is beautiful!!!

Vivid and joyful... Yes, nature is beautiful, its unspoiled landscapes... but unfortunately, the greedy and uncaring are destroying it. This poem is a celebration of the pristine beauty of nature- though many of the animals are becoming endangered, forests are cut down, habitats plundered. You've focused on the positive, which is always good, but we are living a harsh reality.
