Fourth of Freedom

Oh so bright,
the fire-born colors,
arching across the dark sky.

Colorful,
those reminders of deadly shells,
and the patriots who’d 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 Me’s,
wanting only their share of all,
afraid of freedom’s 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 eternity’s 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!

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
and the way her mighty rivers flow
Her frozen land of glaciers
to her deserts barren and cold
I love my mighty country
on 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 (guts) 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 A.M.
and dream of faraway lands
Be happy in my skin
Oh, yes, I love my homeland
She is Grand.
