Our Country’s Finest Lady

 She made us into
What we are today
For those who aren’t terrorist
She stood behind us
While we made them pay

 She has been stomped, torn
And tortured all over this world
But still she stands for one nation
For every man, woman, boy and girl

 She stands up for democracy
Never will she be replaced by complacency
We have stood silent way too long
She and God made this country strong

 She has stood the test of time
Through every war and worldly crime
We even dedicated a pledge in her name
Yet she stands tall among worldly blame

 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America, and to the Republic
For which it stands, one nation, under God,
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all

 We must always stand behind her
To ensure this nation will never fall

 This is the flag that represents
This great Nation scarred by fire
But try as they may
She will never expire

 God Bless America

 And the flag Old Glory
She represents our pride
Ensuring we won’t be the ones
That have to hide.

Thank you for this bright and beautiful tribute to the American Flag. You did it justice. I get a picture of the high flying Flag waving at Ground Zero after 9/11 when I read your poem. Great job! You may like my "Autumn of Red, White, and Blue," posted on 9/11/12.

America's forgetting what it means to be American... Pledge of Alligence, hard work, elbow grease, acceptance theses things are all but gone from 'American' culture and it breaks my heart. I have to agree with everything you said...

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
