Our country was founded on the love of God. The American Flag is our banner of unity, One Nation Under God. I will not be influenced by anyone or any mega corporation that choses to desecrate our Flag. I wrote this poem in honor of our beautiful Flag:
Old Glory, you are a symbol of pride
We need not ignore your meaning or what you imply
I salute your banner waving high
Your colors and stars polish the blue sky
Who in this land cannot notice the freedom for which you stand
You’re an anthem of courage and are still in command
Liberty weeps at the thought of those who defy your side
She bows her head at the great divide
Your roots are deep and you honor those who strap on their boots
They fought for us to keep us sound and to them you are profound

God Bless our beautiful imperfect country! Happy 4th of July!
