The Patriot

His brother died that day in Pearl,
The sneak attack took place.
He lost a cousin on D-Day,
He still can see his face.
The fight was tough and many died,
But freedom they would save.
He fought the Nazis gallantly,
He was more scared than brave.
But he and other’s pressed the fight,
And soon prevail they did.
He came back home to tickertape,
Back home to wife and kid.
He raised his family, they raised theirs,
Now all have moved away.
His wife passed several years ago.
He misses her each day.
What’s happened to the land he loves,
The one he fought hard for.
He can’t go out for walks at night,
He has to lock his door.
He stays at home and reads a bit,
At least his dog still cares.
The young folks drive by in their cars,
Their music loud, their stares.
He flies Old Glory everyday,
He takes her in at night.
He sometimes wishes that he knew,
Just what could make it right.
I’ll tell you now we owe this man,
Much more than we can pay.
Let’s take our country back for him,
We need to start today.
Right now our troops are overseas,
Like he was long ago.
When they come home, home must be here,
The home we used to know.
Turn off the TV, get outside,
Go shake your neighbors hand.
Vote out the leftist liberals,
Get loud and take a stand.
America, is ours to save,
From outside and within.
Let’s keep her strong and keep her great,
So home she’ll be again.

Good Morning all !

I thought there was "lots" of poetry in this one.... :)

Just dropped aunt off at docs.. will pick her up after I drop another one at the beauty shop at one. Have about an hour to get some things done in yard.. shuffling relatives takes on new meaning....

I finally caught up on weekend thread last night before I slept.. such great contributions all over.. and of course went to the Dose to ~~drool~~ look.

Snugs you add so much to all the threads you frequent. Great comments & beautiful graphics. I have learned so much about my own Vice President from a wonderful English Lass.. and the trivia exchange between you & Johnny is such fun.
