Time To Reflect

Happy Birthday America, we salute you.
On this day, the 4th of July.
Bright colors of red, white, and blue.
Everywhere to celebrate and glorify.

Years pass, you have stood strong.
Through chaos, violence, and war.
Believing in the power of right over wrong.
When challenged, you always give more.

We live free, because of what you are.
To maintain the cost has been high.
From early beginnings, coming so far.
Our flag flies proudly against the sky.

Today, we come to show our respect.
We believe in what you are about.
Maybe it is the time for some to reflect
Respect for our country, there is no doubt.

Let's have some vision and some leadership in this country; enough moaning and groaning; enough of the vicious, petty attacks :) gw Login to Reply Sandra L. Weiss Date: 7/28/2019 3:22:00 AM You are right, Gershon. We are lacking the respect that once was. Thanks for the comment.

Quoth Theraven Date: 7/4/2019 3:37:00 PM Sandra, I like your poem. It's important for us, who have freedom of voice, to speak for those who don't. -Richard Login to Reply Sandra L. Weiss Date: 7/7/2019 2:23:00 AM Thank you, Richard. I agree with you. There is so much to be said.
