a poem on finding our pride for our country
Finding our pride

Freedom has become increasingly
Hard to explain to the young
Miscommunication has interrupted
And a lack of country spirit has begun

What happen to the heart felt
Faith and country pride
To stand and give respect
To the flag not be ashamed and hide

It hurts to feel the nation becoming
Less understanding of American life
It hurts to see the young people
Not understand the world’s strife

We have it so well here in our
American promise land
That we don’t pay attention to the
Soldiers out stretched hand

How they fight for us
And keep us so free
To let us live our lives with
Love, freedom, and glee

The soldiers before and the
Soldiers now fighting
Have given us freedom that people
Are now loathing

How did it come to this lack
Of respect for our nation
How did we lose our faith in
The flag, any inclination?

How can we get back on the
Right path of American pride?
How can we teach people to
Stay on the right side?

We must all keep our heads
High, and never faultier
So be thankful and bow a knee
Or pray at an altar

Fight for a country that so
Proudly keeps you free
Defend your country even
When it’s attacked verbally

We must restore our countries
Pride, be ready and strong
To keep our flags flown high
When an enemy comes along

So when you hear that star spangled
Banner played clear and loud
Put a hand over your heart, look
At the flag and stand up proud.
