My Oath and Pledge!

Sometimes the words they flow like wine,
Giving life to these thoughts of mine.

Sometimes I struggle and there is nothing there,
As I try to write a story in hopes it will reach someone who cares.

This gift I received not long ago,
Writing has become a passion that I love so.

Sometimes my wording is not always the best,
Maybe someday my writings will be as good as the rest.

But this is to those who encourage what I do,
From the bottom of my heart I wish happiness for you.

And if I offend in any way,
I apologize my friend is all I can say.

I guess we all sometimes get a little carried away,
As we search for the answer that lies hidden on life’s highway.

There is only one person who holds the key,
And you can readily reach Him on bended knees.

I give thanks to my Lord each and everyday,
And I’m patriotic at heart for the U.S. of A.

But it seems that something is trying to separate the two,
I love them both and I am doing everything I know to do.

I’ll never give up my love for my Lord and Savior,
And I don’t understand all this anti-Christ behavior.

I’ll stand up and defend my country with my life,
But only with Jesus will I make such a sacrifice.

This is my oath and my pledge to all
I’ll stand for my country as long as Jesus doesn’t have to take the fall.
