For My Country- What I Want and Wish

I believe our Constitution reigns- 
		good order must prevail;

that our Bill of Rights remains intact 
		to guard our freedoms shared.

And that our hard-earned Flag stands tall-
		honored as our freedom won;

that supportive love for country should
		dwell deep within each heart-

and our brave warriors are given thanks
		for true service done.

I believe in freedom of free speech
		and bodily defense;

for the right to worship as we can
		without the fear of scorn.

For the support of civil service workers-
		as our police

and firefighters grant us safety-
		clearly, giving up their own.

I believe that history should live-
		and never be erased

by taking our fine statues down-
		removing facts from our books.

We need those truths of our past to show
		rights and wrongs; as we know,

some to date have left our sight-  I want-
		and wish they could return-

to show we are again, the great land
		of the free- just like when

we were known as blessed with love
		for country, liberty, and God.
