Thank you for this gift
Soft sung home spun liberty
With a pledge of heart
Our one Nation, under God
Never to be divided

What a beautiful photo and poem. The clarity of the photo is really something. And the poem written in the colors of the flag, very nice. Enjoyed!

hmmph - I thought this poem was going to be about me! I guess Old Glory will do fine, though.

I was startled when I opened this as the picture is so realistic.

God bless America. I think we need His love and mercy now more than ever.
And may we never be divided.

Karilea, I loved this. Hugs, Marti
