Our Nation
Our Nation
Closing my eyes
I ponder who I am when thinking back
To the Fourth of July.
American flag in my tiny hand
While in the other lies
A picture of my in uniform.
My mother showcases our sign
That I helped made which says
“Happy Fourth of July!!”
Growing tears in her eyes
And it makes me wonder
Why?
Is it because daddy isn't by our side?
Or is it because she's joyful
With pride in our Nation?
In the hands of the “American Dream”
Lies our destination.
My father was the model citizen
Leading him to willingly
Die for OUR Nation.
Glazed eyes to the sky
I thank god
He came home alive.
USMC taught him most importantly
Semper fi
Blessings to all families
Especially military wives.
For his fallen brothers:
May god bless you
For your service
I am forever grateful.
-Taylor Manning (proud daughter of a United States Marine)
