Freedom's Flag

Freedom’s Flag

American the Beautiful, full of Liberty

Freedom’s flag is Red, White and Blue

Freedom for me, freedom for you

Freedom’s bill was paid for by the blood of our mighty military.

From the coal mines of West Virginia and Kentucky

To the big farms in the Midwest

To have been born here I consider myself quite lucky

The freedom to be who you want is one that I like best.

Even though our country may not be perfect or without problems of its own

The fact that we are the greatest nation on this Earth

Is worldwide known

As the greatest defender of freedom the USA has definitely proven its worth.

Isn’t it amazing how the dreams of a few colonists

Sprouted into the tree of the reality that we have now

It kept growing over the shouts of many a pessimist

The fact that we’ve made it this far makes me say “wow.”

“In God we trust” on our paper bills it does to this day still say

We need to do just that

Starting this very day

Because our trust in God helped us reach the point where we are now at.

Too many gave all to our country, unselfishly

Never to return to their homes and loving families

Sacrificing everything so that someone like me

Can have the freedom to try to write and voice to the world my simple poetry.

So on this 4th of July

Please stop and take a moment to say “thanks” to God and the brave ones

Who stand up for the rights of the Free

Please say a simple “Thank you” to America’s daughters and sons.
