Our Flag
She waves for my attention,
So free upon the breeze.
The sun reflects her stars and stripes,
As proud as she can be.
She waves for my attention,
So free upon the breeze.
The sun reflects her stars and stripes,
As proud as she can be.
A wonderful patriotic tribute to the stars and stripes of the American flag. Beautifully written.
To see that face you've missed so much,
To feel that warmth inside.
To see how much you mean to them,
Reflected in their eyes.
In the neighborhood where I was raised,
My life revolved around my friends.
And each day brought new adventures
And endless games of let's pretend.
I sit upon my front porch stoop
Beneath the morning sun.
Grateful for the moment spent
Away from everyone.
This poem is absolutely beautiful! I, too, spend as much time as possible outside with Nature! The birds and trees help to start each day, no matter the weather. I do my best thinking,...

And who should decide if you fail?
Do life's sweet temptations guide you along?
Or in the end does your conscience prevail?
