Yankee Doodle/Patriotic Poetry
I Am The Flag
.
.
I am the flag of the United States of America.
.
I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia.
.
There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the
national flag.
.
My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of
thirteen white stars in a field of blue, represented a new
constellation, a new nation dedicated to the personal and religious
liberty of mankind.
.
Today fifty stars signal from my union, one for each of the fifty
sovereign states in the greatest constitutional republic the world has
ever known.
.
My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual qualities of
the citizens of my country.
.
My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American
men and boys and the self-sacrifice and devotion of American mothers
and daughters.
.
My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.
.
My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.
.
I represent these eternal principles: liberty, justice, and humanity.
.
I embody American freedom: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the

The father, a well digger,
Strong was he,
And as loving and kind
As a father could be.
~*~
And Mary his daughter,
Just five years old,
Was very much dearer
Than millions in gold.
~*~
To Mary her father
Was big, grand and nice,
So each had a treasure,
Beyond any price.
~*~
One day to the well,
Little Mary was sent
To take daddy’s lunch,
How gladly she went.

“As they saw his angel face”
by Bob Perks
.
A Memorial Day Message
.
They were both there the first time he cried. It was a joyful sound. The sound of life beginning and they waited so long to hear it. Mom and Dad were proud of him as they saw his angel face.He grew to be a young man full of hope and pride. He had dreams and plans for the future. In fact, waiting for him back home was the girl of his dreams. They met at school and just like fairy tales and romance stories this love affair was the kind that was meant to be.
The last time they saw each other they made promises of faithfulness. They talked about the wedding and a dozen or more children of their own. He said “I love you more than anything in this world.” She cried and with tears running softly down her face she said, ” I will wait for you and while we are apart my heart will skip every other beat until your return.” Read More

One day I dug a little hole,
And put my hurt inside
I thought that I could just forget
I’d put it there to hide.
But that little hurt began to grow,
I covered it every day
I couldn’t leave it and go on
It seemed the price I had to pay.
…
My joy was gone,
My heart was sad,
Pain was all I knew.
My wounded soul enveloped me
Loving seemed too hard to do.
One day, while standing by my hole,
I cried to God above
And said, “If You are really there,
They say, You’re a God of Love!”

As you go about your day remember who paid the price for our sins!
***
There was a school with a class of students that no teacher had been able to handle. Two or three teachers had been run off from this school in one year by the unruly students. A young man, just out of college, heard about the class and applied to the school.
..
The principal asked the young man, ‘Do you know what you are asking for? No one else has been able to handle these students. You are just asking for a terrible beating’. After a few moments of silent prayer, the young man looked at the principal and said, ‘Sir, with your consent I accept the challenge. Just give me a trial basis.’

I and the Bible, my Book,
In its Scriptures where I look.
…
Telling of God’s word is what it’s for.
Telling that if you find God, you’ll be lost no more.
…
For I read it both day and night,
To my heart, it brings pure delight.
…
In my heart I store its Scriptures.
In my mind it frames a picture.
