~DIGNITY~
I met her as
a child
For she lived
with me
My grandfather
always said
She has dignity
I often heard
the stories
From my dad
and grandpa too
Of how she
lead a nation
In World War
II
I stood in
1961
With tears
in my eyes
When she covered
a casket
The day grandpa
died
I've watched
her sail proudly
From ships
across the sea
Showing her
gracefulness
And her dignity
I saw her flowing
On a make
shift cross last year
The day this
nation faced and saw
Our lives
facing fear
And though
she's been burned
And scorned
by a few
I know what
she means
To me and
you
For years
she's stood in classrooms
When our hands
crossed our heart
And now they
want to remove
The most important
part
One nation
UNDER GOD
Is the way
it's meant to be
For Old Glory
stands for us all
With every
ounce of dignity
I can't help
but think
Of those who
no longer care
Who don't
understand her meaning
In this nation
everywhere
I don't understand
Omitting the
words that are true
About someone
above
Who loves
me and you
Many things
I don't understand
In this world
today
But in my
life Old Glory
Began each
day
I will fly
her for freedom
I will always
salute her with pride
For I will
never forsake her
Until the
day I die
For I am an
American
I know from
where I come
And UNDER
GOD is part of me
It's sad it's
not for some
