Joshua from Plymouth, Minnesota sent in this song. I can really imagine this one being belted out "with grace and pride" from the top of a tall mountain somewhere! I especially like the line about "clouds of every shape and size." It's a good reminder of all the diversity and beauty that exist in our world. Thanks for a great song, Joshua!
Post a comment for Joshua and let him know how much you enjoyed "Love of the Land."
Love of the Land
by Joshua, age 8
O the love that we share
with freedom everywhere
under this turquoise blue sky
with clouds of every shape and size
I sing this song of grace and pride-
to the mountains and the rivers
to the valleys and the sky
to the hills far beyond us
and the ocean o so wide.

What a super song from an eight year old. I can only imagine how many more songs he will create.
Hi Joshua,
You sure notice the world around you and love and appreciate it's beauty. And you are able to express it as clearly as you did in "Love of the Land".
Thank you for helping me see too through your song!
