So many beautiful young women
singing at the Girls State inauguration -
the patriotism and talent presented
astonished my jaded American soul.
Once again, the small child in me
stood with hand over heart
reciting the Pledge, eyes fixed on our
flag and believing absolutely that
my country was the best in the
world and all was right
as long as I lived in the
land of the free and the
home of the brave.
good to remember how it felt to be young
