'And Justice For All'


     

'i pledge allegiance to the flag'
Old Glory...red, white and blue
pieced in Betsy's careful hands
a symbol for me and you

'of the United States of America'
held in our hearts so dear
we'll raise our voices high in praise
that all the land may hear

'and to the republic, for which it stands'
our loyalty shall not waiver
we'll ever defend her side by side
from enemies shall we save her

'one nation...under God'
trusting in Him without fail
For in His tender loving care
freedom and hope shall prevail

'indivisible'
united as one
growing ever stronger
than those who'd have us weakened by
a bond that lives no longer

'with liberty'
we'll carry on
Americans one and all
we'll live in harmony, my friends
with peace
'and justice for all'

Well although we are on opposite sides of the border, I hold the same sentiments for Canada, and you stand tall and proud girl, and I hear your heart singing for your country in this fine piece!  Happy 4th of July to you and yours.

Well done indeed!
I just wish we all said the pledge of allegiance more often ... if only to ourselves.
