Title: Old Glory Flaps in the Breeze Post by: Soldier4Christ on November 11, 2005, 12:55:36 PM Old Glory Flaps in the Breeze
by Irvin L. Rozier, Veteran I woke up this morning way before dawn I sat on my bench by the edge of the lawn; I meditated on the Lord and his goodness to me I am blessed to live in America where I am free. I have a tall flag pole by my little white shed I just raised a new flag, it is white, blue and red; I saw Old Glory whipping around in the breeze For years it has flown over the land and the seas. As a young child I held my hand over my heart I learned the Pledge of Allegiance, part by part; I recalled that day when I raised my right hand I promised to support and defend our great land. As I watched Old Glory gently flapping in the wind I prayed to the Lord and asked that he would mend; Our great nation so it would not be divided and fall I believe the Lord heard me as on his name I did call. The red of Old Glory reminds me of the soldiers' blood Shed on foreign desert sands and in the jungle mud; The 50 white stars set against the blue background Reminds me of God's grace that is spread all around. God Bless America is a phrase that we often hear Repeated on many lips day by day, year by year; Indeed God has blessed America in a mighty way Because of the many that to him do kneel and pray.
