God Bless America!!

"Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it."
--George Bernard Shaw

THE FLAG

When we stop and watch, a parade go by,
And see the flag, that points the sky,
Bow your head for a moment,
Thank God for the reason why.

Thirteen stripes,
for the original states so new,
A field within one corner,
Oh, such a heavenly blue,

Fifty stars that daunt it,
They lie in a placid array,
The golden fringe that surrounds it,
Gives glory to the beautiful display.

I pledge my allegiance to this flag,
And to this country for which it stands.
Under our God who protects it,
And for the liberty and justice it demands.

To change it as materialist want,
would tarnish for what it stands.
Our forefathers formed it so greatly,
And forged it with sinewy hands.

Oh America the beautiful and just,
Oh America the home of the brave,
Let's keep it this way forever
And our freedoms forever we'll save.
