OLD GLORY OUR FLAG
STANDS FOR FREDOM, MAY SHE AWAYS WAVE

GOD WAS IN MY SCHOOL

When I was young
and went to school
In the morning The first
thing we would do
was bow our head and say.

OUR FARTHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN
HALLOWED BE THY NAME
THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE
IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND
THE POWER AND GLORY FOREVER
AMEN

When i was young and went
to school in the morning.
The second thing we would do
we would hold our head high
hand on our heart and say.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
ONE NATION UNDER GOd
INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY
AND JUSTIC FOR ALL

I am not young anymore
I don't go to school
but ever chance I get
you know what I do.
I bow my head and say
THE LORD'S PRAYER

And every chance I get
you know what I do
I hold my head high
hand on my heart and say
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
and real loud I say
ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

We were not afraid to show respect
for God flag and Country
In my school

I worked swing shift at a textile plant and I never thought any more about writing poems.Until my daughter and her husband Mike gave me a webtv for Christmas and I made a webpage with pictures on it from the webtv scrapbook.I started to write short poem to go with the pictures. On September the 11th when the planes flew into the world trade center. I got so mad I wrote a Message To The Evil Ones after that i begain writing poem about America. I am a very patriotic and loyal American. I like to write poem about the mountains I was born in the mountains of North Carolina and I love them. Clara Strickland Brinkley

Mother Nature is a mighty power
she can turn sunshine into rain so very fast
and turn a tiny little seed
into a lovely flower.
Mother Nature and God joined hand's
and came up with the most beautiful plan's.

They planted the meadow all over with grass
and put in pool's of water as clear as glass.
God made the animal's wild and tame
then made Adam to give them a name.
Mother Nature painted the leave's
all color's in the fall
even the bird's fly south in answer to her call.

They made winter white with snow
and gave the sunset a golden glow
when summer fall and winter are through.
Mother Nature sends in spring
to make it again brand-new.
