Where Is It Now? in normal times on normal days federal offices have flags that wave state offices they have them too they snap in the wind red, white and blue  but these are not our normal times and our great flag has reached new climes mailboxes, cars, houses, it’s true they’re all waving the red, white and blue people display them on their lapel earrings, pins, on shoes they dwell T-shirts, blouses on cats, dogs and horses we’ll show old Laden where our true force is for it is the spirit that guides us our freedom that swells even the church flies flags dancing to somber old bells musicians, barkeeps tailors and more fly a flag proudly displayed on their doors children of all ages know the anthem again not a matter of time, but a matter of when! Where is it Now? this pride, it’s intact! our spirit reborn though lives won’t come back! Our sorrows are great, but our spirit is stronger! so when you fly yours, fly it proudly and longer!

yes, I love this!!!  there were some folks in Rocklin, Ca. that took their child out of a school that had God Bless America on its bulliten board, and wanted I gues to sue the school. How sad is that?! It broke my heart to hear that. I see a flag every where I go now, and it makes me feel so proud. Long may it wave!! oh and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!! |

Karilea, not only am I thrilled with our flag, but I'm also grateful it doesn't have any kitties on it! I'm doubly blessed! A sweet poem by you, BTW. |

And I have your little red, white, and blue waving right beside my red and white! You know this is beautiful, simply beautiful, and oh but you live up to your name! ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |

Just as with Mysteria, yours is right there beside out Maple Leaf. I have never seen such outpouring of patriotism...ever...and not just in your country but ours here in Canada as well. Thank you for writing this! ~warm Canadian hugs, NancyLee~ ~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~ |

Thank you, Faithful Readers...I hope your spirits, and those of the Nation, never flag again... and that our open pride has returned to stay... |
