~'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' ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 09-14-2001).] |

Interesting. Unfortunately the shape of the last two stanzas is pretty lumpy. cheers, Alan [This message has been edited by Bilby (edited 09-14-2001).] |

Oh, Vicky~ This is so very creative~ You have a unique form of your very own~ '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' It just brings a lump to my throat~ Thank you sooooooooo much~ I love you and your patriotism~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 09-14-2001).] |

It is so very good to see those of us who cannot go out and actually "do anything" just yet, take our pens, write our hearts, and continue to give the encouragement needed to band us all together. Well done, Vicky! |
