It was sixty years ago this minute
That the grace of God allowed me to breathe
A holiday just seven years in it
Was the country that young, or so it seems
On the verge of war, patriotism ?
Just five months three days before Pearl Harbor
Had our President looked in a prism ?
Or had our God clearly blessed F.D.R.
Having been taught to respect my elders
Born in a nation, deserves my respect
Over two hundred years she has held hers
A ship in the night that has not been wrecked
Perhaps she will live `til reckoning day
In the meantime God bless the U.S.A.
Author notes
Kevin asked us to wax patriotic; voila!
The Fourth of July has been a national holiday only since 1941
Please tell me what you think

Excellent patriotic write Bob. No matter what happens, when it really matters, we all stand or fall together. Thanks for sharing and keep writing.
