by Louise Pinkerton Fritz
I stood beside the flag today
And watched it gently wave;
I saw amidst the stars and stripes
America, the great...
A land to which the masses turn,
A land that still is free,
A country that still has been spared
The rule of tyranny.
I stood beside the grand old flag,
The tried red, white and blue...
Compatriots, this flag and I,
Of a nation fair to view.
A nation built upon God's truth,
Where He is still the key
To keep this, our glorious land,
A torch of liberty.
