América

América   a girl from 1955

 A tower, power, firmness strong

And an inspiring song

She is, she was and now she’s 60

As sixty minutes, as sixty seconds

Complete and has more

Has her children

Hasn’t forgotten, she was a happy girl

She has become a beautiful pearl

Honesty, sympathy and carefree

To care and give

You won’t believe

She can achieve

She can forgive

Older now and still naïve
