Poem Artwork

I have been beaten..trampled and burned
Spit on and cursed at every turn
Let me tell you and I hope you understand
I'm still waving high...UNITED we stand
I'm still OLD GLORY lighting up the skies
I stand for FREEDOM - Your flag still flies
I stand for the soldiers both living and dead
For the War heroes who survived the bloodshed


I stand for the children who look up at me
I'm reflected in their eyes for all to see
I stand for all people - OLD GLORY waves high
Caressed by the wind - So proudly I fly

I stand for our land - both far and wide
Love and honor it with dignity and pride
I stand for the homeless - the sick and the old
I wave for that lonely man shivering from the cold
I stand for the people who so horribly died
In the Sept 11th tragedy - America cried
Somehow in the midst of the heartache and tears


I brushed off my armor of doubts and fears
I polished my pride so determined to win
Held on to my courage - to stand TALL again
When you look up at the red, white and blue
Remember all I stand for - I stand for YOU

(C) Linda Hill

Next to my own Canadian flag there is no other in this world that I respect more than the stars and stripes of our cousins to our south. Great tribute and respect for your national symbol.

Linda, as an outsider I make it a personal policy not to comment on others' politics, and I won't do so now, but I would like to say I admire the strength and conviction in your expression and delivery.
