Notes About The Poem

Oh Say Can You See!

Never Let Our Freedom Down

Never let our freedom down!
America, how sweet the sound!
So raise the flag and kiss the ground!
And...never let our freedom down!

Never let our freedom down!
The olive branch and arrows crown!
And thank the Fallen for what we've found!
And never let our freedom down!

Never let our freedom down!
A nation under GOD abounds!
'Pray HE keeps us safe and sound!
And never let our freedom down!

Never let our freedom down!
That olive branch and arrows crown!
Liberty wears a Crimson Gown!
So never let our freedom down!

Hi, Chuck, it’s been a long time since we’ve shared reading poems here. Sorry. I’ll health has kept my energy too low to go exploring. But, now, I really can’t wait to hear the final production of this put to music! I like that it’s patriotic without “taking sides.” Very uniting, as we Are All The U.S.A., Blessing Our Forefathers!
