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 county
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 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!!!

A TOAST TO THE FLAG
By John Jay Daly (1954)

1.
Here’s to the Red of it –
There’s not a thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread of it
From foot to head
But Heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red!

2.
Here’s to the White of it –
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it
But feels the might of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood’s care for it
Made manhood dare for it;
Purity’s pray’r for it
Keeps it so White!

3.
Here’s to the Blue of it –
Beauteous view of it,
Heavenly hue of it,
Star-Spangled dew of it,
Constant and true;
Diadems gleam for it,
States Stand Supreme for it,
Liberty’s beam for it
Brightens the Blue!

4.
Here’s to the Whole of it –
Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Body and soul of it,
O, and the roll of it,
Sun shining through;
Hearts in accord of it
Swear by the word for it,
Thanking the Lord for it,
Red, White and Blue!
