unknown deep and dark sphere
the pathway to a new hemisphere
upon the sea
they came
hope, freedom, life
by toil, pain, strife
to the land
they tamed
equality, liberty, pursuit
truth, right, absolute
the ideals for which
they fought
home, work, church
education, search
is the way
they lived
prosperous, leader, humanitarian
democratic, egalitarian
is the USA
we became

excellent~
Indeed
You have penned the way to America in this poem
Sometimes tho I wonder if it is Land of the free anymore
Esp with the high cost of gas, food, rent, insurance...you name it...money is growing so much more shorter everyday......I wonder how some people make it..
Best of luck in the contest
Love the background
Hugs
