My Country 🌟

A  L  O  H  A !
“When you see a good person, 
think of becoming like that.
 When you see someone 
not so good, reflect on 
your own weak points.” 
               Confucius

moments and unique people!”

 I was here
before the Miwok.
Before the Spanish came,
I was old in this land.
Humans go by
on foot, on horseback,
in boulders that move.
New birds fly high in
my sky. Still
I am here.
Simply. 
 Goodbye-














This is my country
Land of my birth.

This is my country, 
Grandest on Earth -
