My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Why I Love My Country
I love her magnificent majesty Her colors: RED, WHITE and BLUE from her mighty mountain peaks to her delta lows the way her mighty rivers flow Her frozen land of glaciers to her deserts barren and cold I love my mighty country.
Upon whose rocky roads I've run I love her Pride and Pomp I love her patience not to tromp I love her freedom, she lets me be me with responsibility and the SISU to pay the dues
To take care of me at all times, but should I need a hand, she is grand and lends a hand up -not a hand out
She said, I could have an education that I would have to work for it no one would hand me my grades It's a prudent decision she has made...
I love her, because I can run through the roses at three am and dream of faraway lands Be happy in my skin Oh, yes, I love my homeland She is Grand!!!!

The 4th of July, like Memorial day is often a somber day to me. I reflect upon the cost, and price yet to pay for the freedoms some would just toss away. The poem below is an encapsulation of my feelings, and fears of what we seemingly allow today. Do we all really care, or understand the things we once valued?
Trike, (an old Vet with too much time to think)

Fourth of Freedom
Oh so bright,
the fire-born colors,
arching across the dark sky.
Colorful,
those reminders of deadly shells,
and the patriots whod fight and die.
They, at least,
thought America was good,
worthy of their final sacrifice.
But, anti-American,
bitterness taught from within,
says such sacrifice should go on ice.
The Mes,
wanting only their share of all,
afraid of freedoms cost and care.
Demeaning America,
for they fear responsibility,
and all the duties of the soul kept there.
Demeaning God,
for He too teaches duty and faith,
and final judgment for eternitys span.
Demeaning the Flag,
and all it means to freemen,
and those wanting to be free from those who ran.
Watch the fireworks,
but remember the fight goes on,
not just across the sea, but with the anti next door.
Love America,
build America and pass it on,
its time we all need to give so much more!

Thank You for this poem. I was in the backyard this afternoon for a while and wrote a piece in my head. Here is a little of it.
I am mad at those who think
this land of ours is a dirty sink
They toss their verbal trash around
like cash and have not thought about
who kept that right for them to act
like thankless gimme's in the grass
of course they have that right, it's protected
in this land...
I flew my flag yesterday 'twas one
of two on my street... the folks
walked by a stared at it as though
it was something new
They believe it's okay to steal
a Support the Troops magnet ribbon
from my mailbox... and the Green wienie
next door thinks it's okay to splice
my tv cable and buy me off for $50.00 bucks
stuck in an envelope and dropped in my box
with an unsigned letter of explanation
I returned his money, I'm not to be bought
my mom taught me honesty with a switch
and a pot....
They care about freedom as long as it's theirs
they don't care who paid the cost whose blood
soaks the dirt, who lost and arm and a leg,
or maybe a eye, or is covered with burns
or who slept on the sand, or who froze
with General Washington all those years ago.
Hell no, they don't care and further more they
don't know.
