This work has reached the exceptional level
Our great American flag.

When I see Old Glory fly

by Willie P. Smith

When I see Old Glory fly,
My heart swells with pride.
Fighting for that great flag,
Many heroes have died.

I'm so proud to see her fly,
She means everything to me.
A great symbol of freedom,
For all the world to see.

When she waves against the sky,
Say a grateful prayer.
Give all thanks to God,
She's still flying there.

So lets raise her higher
For all the patriots like me.
The flag that says "AMERICA,"
From Sea to shining sea.

When I see Old Glory fly,
My heart swells with pride.
Fighting for that great flag,
Many heroes have died.

I came from a time when our flag was revered. It seems so many, so called Americans,
have forgotten what she stands for. Flag burning or vandalism should carry a prison sentence. Free speech means speech not destruction.
