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.
