Remember the Pledge
July is here, with the fun of summer,
Holiday planning can be a drag,
But on the 4th we take time to honor,
“I pledge allegiance to the flag”,
“Of the United States of America”,
Parades, pretty floats and bands,
Fireworks and the Stars and Stripes,
“And, To the Republic for which it stands”,
“One nation under God, indivisible”,
With men and women who choose to serve,
There is something inside that drives them
Yet are rarely shown the honor they deserve,
Courage is one of the qualities,
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines,
They promise to protect our country,
And the constitution from enemies’ unseen,
It’s a three-day holiday for most of us,
Independence day is quite a thrill,
Bar-B-Qs, picnics, and family,
“With liberty, and justice for all”.
