She always felt she had an American Heart
Has felt this way from the very start
With America she has such a special bond
Even though she lives far across the pond
She feels so much patriotism and pride
And loves the way she feels inside
She longs for the day when she will stand
On American soil...her heart's homeland
This is the country where she can be free
Land of her dreams far across the sea
She feels that America is calling her home
Where her heart will find peace..never more will she roam
Author notes
This is basically how I feel about America

The rhyme in your poem is good. The imagery is also good.
"This is the country where she can be free
land of her dreams far across the sea
She feels that America is calling her home
where her heart will find peace...never more will she roam."
I like your words use.

How beautiful to have one's country looked at with such a positive light. Today, there are many who hate Americans for all kinds of reasons, mostly for our foreign policy.
It is nice to see that the ideals of the founding fathers is still appreciated for its original intent.
I felt so good reading this. ~Pamela
