On 8/29/09 I was at a Marine Corp unit reunion in San Diego, CA and we all had dinner together that satarday evening. After dinner my wife wanted to go on a Cinderella buggy ride. The gentleman who drove the buggy came from Ireland 20 years ago to enjoy American Freedom. A year after the tragity of 9/11 he wrote the following poem.
Old Glory Will Wave Again
When we see Old Glory at half-mast
We know there's something wrong
It's a hurt we share, cause we still care
For this country proud and strong
*
To some it is a demonic sign
As if like Satan's shroud
But to me and you, the Red, White, and Blue
Will forever make us proud
*
And you without who scream and shout
You inflict on us such pain
We've heard your roar we've seen the gore
But terror will not reign
*
With great unease, I ask you please
Your evil set aside
And maybe, someday, somehow, someway
You'll know a thing called pride
*
We never posed a threat to you
It was of your creation
To mar, to spoil, destroy, defile
This paradise-like nation
*
We weep today for our sad lot
Yes, our hearts are filled with pain
But we're not afraid, cause with God's aid
Old Glory will wave again
God Bless You America
