What makes America
Great? God makes America
Great! Without Him there
would be no America, the
land of the free, and
the home of the brave.
There would be no Statue
of Liberty standing at
the door, to welcome the
world's downtrodden,
friends or foe alike!
Millions would not be
fed food for their
bodies and souls. There
would be no freedom of
the press. Last but not
least, we would not have
our Flag, to honor her
greatness. I would like
to share this poem I
wrote about our flag. To
me, it represents all
that America stands for.
She stands high up in
the sky,
Proudly waving, to and
fro.
A hope to all who pass
her by,
O'er a country that
loves her so!
Yes we love her, this
flag of ours:
Her Red, her White, her
Blue
We love her and we need
her,
To remind us to be true!
She stands for peace and
freedom,
To all peoples, near and
far.
She gives hope, faith
and comfort,
When her soldiers go off
to war!
We see her fly against
the Heavens,
As the clouds around her
roll,
And when the sunbeams
surround her,
What a beauty to behold!
We see her stars and
stripes fly o'er us,
In great beauty and
great splendor,
A reminder to all who
see her,
To love her and defend
her!
Yes, we love her, this
flag of ours,
Her Red, her White, her
Blue.
We love her and we need
her,
To remind us to be true!
****************
Yes, God makes America
great. Without Him we
would not have the
privilege to celebrate
this FLAG DAY!
We must always keep God
in America---
And may we always honor,
love and respect our
Beautiful Flag!!
