Notes About The Poem

The Fine Lady

The Fine Lady

It is the first time I can remember, 
that I cared about china. 
Which pattern to pick, 
where to buy it, 
and why. 

The first ladies pick their dishes. 
They pick special placements, 
for the guests of the high house, 
"the White House", 
the people's house...
of this land. 

Pretty patterns, 
flowers, and trims...
to make the world a bit brighter. 
Taking time to make everything, 
perfect... 
that represents;
our past, 
present,
and future...
 
The values of our country, 
freedom, 
grace, 
and honor...
loyalty
brothers beyond blood. 

In God We Trust!
Values and morals that consider, 
all while holding true to the roots, 
or our forefathers. 

Freedom.
