PATRIOTISM
Patriotism was like a withering plant,
Just hanging on, almost defiant.
The evil tragedy of 9/11 struck a blow,
Patriotism, watered and nurtured, began to grow
Now American flags are seen everywhere,
On cars, streets, houses up and down the stair.
Once more people are not ashamed to pray,
We lift our eyes to Heaven every day.
We are concerned about our fellow man,
Go out of our way to help when we can.
We are fearful for our Servicemen overseas,
Praying for them daily, their safety and needs.
So, FLY; fly your flag high,
Let it soar o'er Heaven's sky ,
Lift up your hands in reverent prayer,
That God's peace will prevail everywhere.!
Patriotism is alive!
Americans will survive!
With God on our side,
Whatever betide!
