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 Repost

Linda my dear sister this is the 'Bomb' old school salutation. This poem is wondrous majestic and some of your best work. You, God inspire woman need badly to published books, which ofcouse would be read worldwide because you write from your heart. A heart inspired only by God most High and Him alone. Peace!!! and thank you.
