6. Poems
Songs for Young Americans
By Gail Brooke Burket
I live in a land, where the people are free
And joy is a birthright, belonging to me.
Love shelters my home, like a wide-branching tree.
The doors of the church, are open to me.
The schools unlock treasure, with truth for a key.
A whole world of wonder, is waiting for me.
I live in a land, where the people are free;
The future shines golden, for children like me.
Our Flag
By Author Unknown
You may call it an old piece of bunting;
You may call it an old tattered rag;
But thousands have died for its honor
And shed their best blood for the flag.
You may call it an old piece of bunting;
You may call it an old tattered rag;
But Freedom has made it majestic,
And Time has ennobled Our Flag.
