My Country–My Flag
This poem is from Autumn Leaves:
Unfurl my flag and let her fly
Over this place where I now lie.
Let her stars and stripes spank the breeze
Where I now lay and take my ease.
Thoughts of yesterday take wing and fly
Where her beauty adorned the sky.
A million teardrops from a million eyes
Shed over countless graves where brave men lie.
As she waves, I served with pride.
I lived to age while others died.
Others now must heed her call,
Shed their blood and give their all.
From coast to coast, a land so dear,
When I sought God, I found Him here.
When I died, it was not for naught,
Cause our flag stands for all He taught.
So unfurl my flag and let her fly
Over this land where I now lie.
Let her stars and stripes spank the breeze
Where I now lay and take my ease.
God bless America!

Heya excellent blog! Does running a blog like this take a lot of work?
I have very little expertise in coding but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyways, should you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic but I just
had to ask. Kudos!

Yes, it does, but it is fun. My host is http://www.wordpress.com, which has free themes and lots of online guides. I used Mystique, which I modified, using the guides. It is mobile friendly. It is reasonably priced. There is a double layer of security if you have a smart phone. You might want to check it out. All you have to do is “follow the bouncing ball.” It is very easy to do. No coding knowledge is required. Follow your passion and blog. Write it down and get it out there! Happy blogging! Enjoy your day! 🙂

From WordPress IT assistance – for duplicate comments received because they checked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox issue:
The easiest way for them to remove themselves from comment notifications is by navigating to the following page when logged in to their WordPress.com account:
http://wordpress.com/following/edit/
From that page, they’ll need to click the “Edit” link next to your blog name. Then, they’ll see the option to toggle the comment notification off. Here’s an example:
If they do not subscribe through WordPress.com and instead use only email, they can still update their subscription setting by using the Manage Subscriptions link at the bottom of the email as shown here:
