Americana history has always kinda been my thing, right?
The Lure of America by Michael Doyle The lure of America and her promise Rests in at least one simple premise That rising above the conditions found When born is a dream worth chasing around The lure of freedom and chance for liberty Is part and parcel of and with our history Here in this pace of grand possibility Led the settlers who lived our early history Goals and dreams however flawed are the thing Of a people who struck forth as human beings Pouring forward in coming succession Are the stuff of hope that brought immigration Remnants speak to those who came before All of who come seeking just a bit more Some of these have come and gone Some of these still linger on and on This land of refuge and opportunity Has lent each whisper leading toward our legacy A God of second chances given to all Is found throughout our history's wall It's the spirit calling all to the west The Elysian Fields that offer best The settlement of America is Europe's unsettlement Brought rise to what would become what America meant East to west and west to east called in imagination Of trade and adventure across the European nations Pushing forward in oceanic navigation And even brought about the notions of the modern nation (c) March 22, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
