O beautiful for rainbow race
for multicolored skin
for outside differences of face
Americans within.
America! America!
where every voice is heard.
We pledge to heed
each anxious need
with deed and work and word!

America the Beautiful!
On this day of joyous new hope in our new president-to-be, I found myself humming "America, the Beautiful". Then gradually these words inserted themselves as a new verse:
O beautiful for rainbow race
for multicolored skin
for outside differences of face
Americans within.
O beautiful for rainbow race
for multicolored skin
for outside differences of face
Americans within.

I'm with you on your enthusiasm!
What a wonderful post, I loved your verse changes, and I am glad you stopped by my blog so I could visit yours. It's been a wonderful visit and I look forward to more. Thank you so much for dropping by.
South Africa called itself the Rainbow Nation after apartheid. I always thought it was a lovely concept. But coffee-coloured is the term that attracts me now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have a delightful blog here yourself. LOVE your new verse!
Wonderful poem! I'm beside myself with joy over the Obama win.
p.s. I've been wondering where you've been...and did send you an e-mail. Glad you're fine!
