I still see old glory waving
to a country standing proud
I hear her voices united
singing THEIR praises loud.

I feel her sense of freedom
in a homeland of the brave
I taste sweet honor and pride
with dignity, THEY so willing to save.

I touch her sacred grounds
and her amber waves of grain
I pray for their strength and courage
and for THOSE who have died in vain.

I wish for there to be peace
not just for her, but for all
and may old glory ever wave
she WILL NOT falter...she WILL NOT fall.

SE, Lady, thank you both. Just had that sort of patriotic feeling going on. *s*
