Patriot's Cause, America's Freedom

Patriot's Cause, America's Freedom

America; here was found a shore on which to cast
fateful voyage , ship speeding at full mast
patriots true to historic cause
world now gives great applause

In this land of mountains heaped in pride
Paule Revere raced his famous ride
over cobbled streets in dark of night
a patriot took to flight

Sounding a great alarm to rush to defend 
to arms, all ye neighbors and friends
freedom's enemy silently sallies forth
marching from the North

History records the great battles big and small
patriots courageously defending, standing tall
victory earned by death and sacrifice
freedom's reward would suffice

As centuries now have past, so very steadily flown
America stands with sweet freedom on it's own
patriots over time have sacrificed and died
defending liberty, American pride

Wonderfully written, Robert. We a truly a proud nation that of freedom loving roots. Freedom must be fought for in many different ways because there is always someone who wants to take it away. Not only our nation but our personal freedoms. I loved reading this one, my friend..... Robert.
