Our soldiers for decades have taken up arms, <br /> to keep your Great Country safe from harm. <br /> They have fought on land, air and sea, <br /> so we might have security. <br /> Patriotic, I guess it sounds, <br /> to say "be proud of this American ground". <br /> Let Old Glory wave and don't be afraid, <br /> to salute her as she leads the parade. <br /> There are those who would mock and burn. <br /> What would they do for America <br /> if they had their turn? <br /> Stand up and be counted, Patriots, I say. <br /> Be Proud! It's Independence Day.<br /><br />Cathy Bellah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pride-6/
