Since God formed the miracle of beauty and such
And created hills and valleys with His mighty touch
I am reminded of Francis Scott Key
Who wrote the words, "Oh, say can you see."
I see Ira Hayes, the Marine who came to be
All the astronauts who soared in space
The moon walk with Old Glory, secure there in its place.
This land we call America is squarely in our hands
So, let's raise the flag and sing those words
And be proud for which it stands.
America the Beautiful is freedom
With the right to praise our God
Lady Liberty will guide you homeward
While fleets of battleships stands the guard.
I'm proud to say the USA
Is the land that I call home
And I pledge allegiance to our flag
As one, we all should stand.
Old Glory waved its banner as our men went off to war
The women labored long and hard, in steel mills smelting ore.
Until the final victory, we proudly stood our stand
To complain there was no need, our honor said it all.
Our American Dream played out, as mighty battles toiled
Our men displayed courageous souls, there on foreign soil.
We fight our battles everyday in dreams of greater things
While those mortal men and women do fight to pave our way.
To all the men and women who fight so valiantly
I thank you for the liberty America has today.
So, I shall raise Old Glory
And let her proudly wave
And remember I am an American
Because our soldiers guide the way.
Yes, I'm proud to say the USA
Is the land that I call home
And I pledge allegiance to our flag, one nation under God.
To all of those who gave their all
And heard the Mighty call
I lift you up and sing your praise
On this Memorial Day.
Blessings,
Joyce B.
Be safe,
Karen
They always have, and you honor them well, Joyce.
