My Country–My Flag
Posted by wfosterwelborn
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!
