Oh, Beautiful

My Fellow eMericans

The last few weeks have been very divisive. Our eNation has been tested. I am proud to report that she has passed her test.

eMericans have proven they can live together, laugh together, love together and not only forgive each other but forget the insanities and inanities that have attempted to divide us.

Perhaps this is a bit dramatic, prehaps a bit too passionate for the normal reader, perhaps a bit too serious or even a bit too stilted to those that see eLife as "just a game" but for those who want to demonstrate their love and loyalty to the eUSA in the eVerse as much as they might the USA in RL if they only had the same opportunity I present to you this song. Many of you may recognize it:

(NOTE: Here is a link to the music as played by the US Marine Corps Band.)

O beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful, for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!

O beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!

O beautiful, for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

May each of you have a wonderful holiday during this season of joy.

God Bless America!
