Ole Glory

Ole Glory

A Poem by Adelina Keith

I love to watch Ole Glory fly.
My heart swells with pride,
As I begin to cry.
She’s a symbol for something
So much bigger than herself -
Freedom, Blood, and Sacrifice.
There’s no partisan divide
In her tapestry.
All fifty states
Are there in unity.
O’er many battle fields
She has flown
And paved the way
For those to come.
Every fallen soldier
She follows home.
Because of them,
I dare not bow.
There are those who hate her.
Me? I love her.
I’ll fly her high and fly her proud.
And on my lips the familiar words,

“One nation under God, indivisible
With liberty and justice for all.”

Gee
I take it this poem is referring to the stars and stripes, your countries flag. We have two, the cross of St George, for England and then the Great British flag.
You come across as a very patriotic country but one that has numerous divides.
Should the first word of line 11 be o'er( over)
Good morning Adelina, Enjoyed reading you
