This is the land of the free
But some don't want us to be
This Land is for my kids, who mean more than life to me
Thats is why I want to see them live free
I am willing to fight
To keep them safe from any enemy in sight
I like to see our flag fly high
But some are wondering why
Thousands have died to save this land
That is why I want to lend a hand
It's what you feel within your heart
I feel It's my duty to do my part
I will Defend this land if it's asked of me
For I am Proud and i am free
And if I die don't be sad
I was willing to pay the price for everything i had
I this is God's will to be
I hope you are proud of me
For I am proud and i am free

Hm ... I cannot completely and honestly say that I like this peice of work. To be honest - I don't like any poems that gear more towards religion or even have the mention of God.
I still respect you fro your thoughts but this is not what I'm looking for, sorry.
Good Luck in the contest and thank you for entering

I think you should go back and proof-read this poem; There are quite a few obvious mistakes. I like the message of this poem. Thank you for entering my contest.

Honestly, I disagree with just about everything you have said... Partly because this land was stolen from the Natives and then we act like it's ours... Har har.
The wording also seems a little cliche and the flow is off because of how it's worded...
I'm sorry to say that you did not follow the rules (you neither listed your option number nor commented in the "Author's Comment" box as may have been required by the option. Good luck in future contests.
