An American Born and Bred

An American Born and Bred Have heard with pride many people say, They love America and here will stay; In front of house, is a flag that flies, Under Carolina clear and bright blue skies. So this poem with you want to share And treat country and flag with care; Give it much honor and also praise; Even if raining or sunny, shiny days. Do love them both like a small boy, Who everyday plays with his toy, We bought which was a drum; America is where he has been from. Born and bred to be a brave American, And no matter what, will remember when, He enlisted with eloquence when he said, Always keep a flag folded under my bed. Each morning will take it out with me, So whole neighbor can clearly see, My respect for God, Country and flag; Brought one more in my lunch bag.
