How proud we are of our country <br />And what it has always stood for <br />Old Glory flying high and proud <br />Began when folks hit the shore <br /> <br />With love for the newfound land <br />Our ancestors grew crops with pride <br />They built a simple life <br />With their horses right by their side <br /> <br />With grit and grime they worked the fields <br />Toil and sweat made them their own <br />They scratched out a living for their families <br />Built a place that they could call home <br /> <br />As sunrise turns to sunset <br />Let’s give thanks for our home and our land <br />Remember who carved out our country <br />And our freedom for which Old Glory stands!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-glory-pride/
