Old Glory

A Poem by Rita L. Sev

Old Glory flows proud on her mast

her colors a sign of our past

from dawn’s early light

to the darkest of night

her stars and her stripes will hold fast

You are welcome.
A wonderfully patriotic write for Flag Day, Rita. I was disturbed that the holiday is not really mentioned nowadays. This is the best country in the world in which to live....I am convinced of that. Lydi**

My neighbor's flag is a great reminder... Thanks, Marie.
We are not perfect, I can be completely frustrated with Washington and our ridiculous worship of the second amendment but that flag and what she stands for still makes me be proud to be an American. I don't believe I would want to call any other place home.

i hope someday we will really feel proud to wave that flag again...seems these last years...we have had to force ourselves to feel the same patriotism we used to long ago...the name is fitting isn't it?
