Welcome to the ULC Minister's Network

Reverend Rosemarie Mohr

America

  • Some of you have seen this already, I decided it was time to post for everyone, as always, my words come from my heart.

     

    America

     

    America the beautiful

    Sometimes I think not

    The land, it was stolen

    Through unfair battles fought

     

    Its caretakers murdered

    Their children and their wives

    Changed their peaceful existence

    Disrupted their lives

     

     Then called them savages

    How could they dare!

    For protecting the land

    They’d been given to care

     

    The white man came in

     Took more than their share

    Leaving chaos behind

    And forest land bare

     

    Rivers and streams

    Dried up in their stead

     What was once plentiful

    Now surely was dead

     

    Still stories are told

    Of honor and bravery

    Reservations a sad state

    Leading lives unsavory

     

    But strong character and faith

    Is hard to dissuade

    When love, honor, sacrifice

    Is your stock and trade

     

    A humble people

    To this very day

    Who, for all they’ve been through

    Don’t forget how to pray!

    Reverend Rosemarie Mohr Indeed Gregory, I am not Native American , but I am studying earnestly, and with all I've seen and read, and know about the people I've met, is they take care of their own. We as "americans" on the whole, do not, but that's a whole other blog. We (america...  more
