I am the American Flag

Representing every state in the Union.

I can be found everywhere!

Patriots fly me in their yards;

Display me from their porch

Sometimes I line fences and sidewalks.

I am even displayed through towns.

I tower in front of schools,

Federal buildings and even the White House.

I drape caskets of our honored dead.

I honor our veterans at their grave sites.

Songs are written about me.

Do you know the National Anthem?

“God Bless The USA.”

I am carried at all parades.

Proudly I stand on the moon.

I can be found as a decoration on a holiday cake.

Did you know I am proudly humbled

By the Christian Flag at sea during services?

It is as it should be.

Jesus said in Matthew 13:15 “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

Americans take heed at the Saviour’s words.

I too, shout the same words at you.

America; take notice before it is too late.

I am displayed

But I am not seen.

I speak, but I am not heard.

The Constitution is our guiding light.

We are dying as a country

Because we are divided.

A country divided against itself

Cannot stand!

I AM OLD GLORY!

I WILL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!

I AM PROUD TO REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES!
