 My daddy was a soldier and my Grandpa was a Marine.... I grew up with a rifle you bet I know just how to use it and while my friends were off and playing Momma had me working- I never got allowance but man my bed sure was warm at night. that's why I'm saying G-d bless the U.S. from sea to shining sea- And that's why I'm screaming- "don't tread on me!" GB the U.S. and all that I see. I was working hard in school And I followed the golden rule And if I messed up- man I sure didn't want to go home. And one time I got spanked thirty times from that point on- I sure didn't like the lying. my new found love for truth was evident! You know I asked before I did it and I put it way after I used it- And it's these little things that taught me to be a man. That's why I'm saying G-d bless the U.S. from sea to shining sea- And that's why I'm screaming- "don't tread on me!" GB the U.S. and all that I see. And after school was out there was never any doubt we'd be vacationing on the lakes- due north of here. And we caught a ton of fish and oh man how my skin got burnt! We spent only what we could afford- but we never felt bored And Oh G-d how we were blessed! That's why I'm saying G-d bless the U.S. from sea to shining sea- And that's why I'm screaming- "don't tread on me!" GB the U.S. and all that I see. I spent New Years Eve with the congregation And I never questioned my salvation. we had the freedom to choose- and we wisely picked the truth- because after death the chickens come home to roost- And I was proof- that city boys and country boys were introduced. That's why I'm singing G-d bless you Lady Liberty! Big city fights with bigger kids and oh how they talked so tough! But daddy always told me "a big mouth don't make a man." He said "ya gotta make your stand"- and "all that matters is if you fight- for what you know is right." And to this day I still haven't backed down from a fight... But I've talked a lot of sense- into a lot of fools And even a few of them afterward, said- "man yer pretty cool!" that's why I'm saying G-d bless the U.S. from sea to shining sea- And that's why I'm screaming- "don't tread on me!" GB the U.S. and all that I see. I'd spend all day playing, or else momma would be saying -"boy you'd best find something to do!" I remember Coca Cola coming in glass bottles and when a tank of gas was just 20 dollars. And when stars and stripes were forever- as when the Berlin Wall came down. Becuase we were thankful for the freedoms that were around- And this nation would salute at the bugles sound! that's why I'm saying G-d bless the U.S. from sea to shining sea- And that's why I'm screaming- "don't tread on me!" GB the U.S. and all that I see. Thats why I'm praying GB the U.S. It's for all YOUR Children still around... GB, sabrefire Copyright © 2008 MAS |

You do some really good descriptive writing. I had someone pose a statement to me about the fourth of July. Tell me what you think about his statement. "It shouldn't be God bless America... It should be America bless God because we should be serving Him... not the other way around." The thought struck me and after reading in the Bible to Love the Lord your God with all your heart. I think my friend had some truth to his statement. We should be praising God!
