United  Oh say can you see Should we fight, to be free? By the dawns early light The light of God, shining so bright What so proudly we hailed United we stand, We cannot fail At the twilight's last gleaming? The Stars and Stripes, A light a beaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars Helped to make us; heals the scars Through the perilous fight Led by the grace, Of God's great light O'er the ramparts we watched The battles the wars, What have we taught? Were so gallantly streaming? Glowing with strength, Powerful gleaming And the rockets red glare The light of war, The loss unfair The bombs bursting in air A fight 'til the end, A battle of flare Gave proof through the night God's strength with us, To make it right That our flag was still there Our country’s strength, they could not tear O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave Flying high in the wind, giving grand display O'er the land of the free The land of grace, And opportunity And the home of the brave? Our home of unity, The soldiers did save A tribute in honor of Francis Scott Key; for writing such a beautiful verse To the soldiers of then and now.... May God bless America! Cpalmer Sept 26, 2001 God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears Cpalmer [This message has been edited by cpalmer (edited 10-23-2001).] |

Well done. A lot of great thoughts here. Another Canadian salutes you If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
