Ruby,
Diamond and Sapphire
"I pledge
allegiance to
the Flag of
the United States of America
and to
the Republic for which it stands,
a
NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,
WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!"
From remnants of
fabric
Betsy Ross
fashioned
The very first
Banner;
Thru trials and
tribulations,
She continues to
endure
On earth and even the
moon
Granting us
a world secure.
Waving in the
breeze,
For the common good
And our beloved
Country,
Is the crimson
of blood shed,
So that we
believe that good life
And the hope for
a better future
Shall meet
and blissfully wed.
Strength of the
diamond,
So pure and
shining,
Guiding our
hearts and souls
With an open and
clear mind;
May our common
dream
For unity and
peace,
Be our most
treasured find.
Sapphire skies
enveloping
A promising, reachable horizon
Where freedom,
hope and
Democracy
forever reign;
And the supreme sacrifice
To defend and
protect her
Shall not have
been in vain.
She is the first to
rescue
And help her fellow man,
Never wavering or
retreating
In the face of
adversity;
She is the solace in our
sorrow,
And our rejoicing in
glory,
She is the anchor for you and
me.
For all those
who seek her,
She has been the
safe haven
For all in need
of refuge,
For the
oppressed and bound
By injustice and
tyranny;
May she always
be their shelter,
The outmost
common ground.
May God always guide
The "Stars and Stripes",
The Red, White,
and Blue,
Whether on land,
sky, and sea;
May she soar
above the clouds
Perched on eagle’s
wings
And cuddled by democracy.
May she forever
be and wave,
The most
precious symbol,
The pride of our
great Nation;
May our hearts beat in
unity,
In the love for
God and Country
May hope,
freedom, and peace,
Be to all her eternal legacy.
