A bell with a crack down the side

A woman standing with a book holding a torch on fire with pride

Seeing me and women fighting their country selflessly

Seeing people protesting for equal rights;

Children playing in the park,

People walking in the dark,

Some sitting in a café, talking about many things:

Stating opinions and facts, possibly getting

In arguments or bantering about beliefs and ideals

Hearing the hum of a proud patriotic song

Coming from a soldier, a vet, or a radio

People walking down the street without a care

People thinking they can float on air

Children learning about the world, values, and morals

Realizing they will have to let go of their parents helping hand...

Starting the process of figuring out one's self

Trying to find meanings in the environment around them

Asking the age old question, "why?"

Seeing a cloth with stars and stripes

Looking at it with pride...
