Beauty of America: A Poem
"Like the peaks of the Rockies/Let us sing out your praise"
Greetings!
I hope the summer season has been treating you well! My family and I returned from vacation a couple of weeks ago. It was a much-needed opportunity to spend some time away from work and to roam the great outdoors together.
On our trip, we drove across a significant part of the country, in the tradition of the Great American Road Trip, and watched the world around us change as we went. I was struck by the beauty of our country as we drove. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve begun to really love this land. Not only the beauty of the natural world but also the history and heritage within each different part of the country. I’ve started to feel more connected to it and I am grateful to call the United States my home.
Today’s poem, while not written during this trip, was inspired by the beauty found throughout North America and the wonderful gift God has given us in His creation.

Thank you for your continued support of Goodnight, Child of God! I am exploring the possibility of a couple in-person events this fall to meet readers and share my work with more people in the Tulsa area.

Lastly, I am continuing to work on a few new book ideas and seek inspiration to rework a couple of drafts I’ve completed. With God’s help, I’d love to have a solid manuscript by the end of the year.
That’s all for now! Thank you for reading. I am thankful for your support!
With gratitude,
Drew Chancey
