I Stand For.....

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!!!

___From the Masses to the Minute__
If One Hold's It Together Then You Are The Only One To Be Saved...

There Are Voices To Be Heard, Too Many Say Everything & Yet Say No Thing To Be Said___

You Say Something & You Are Heard By (God) As (God) Hears Me, TRASK In His Place...
