PATRIOT

At a time when country and unity was most important

The meaning is to vigorously support one's country

To be prepared to defend against enemies and tyranny

Is it defined the same or is it construed for you?

Does it bring out the best or does it bend what is true?

Is it rooted to the core where you bleed red, white and blue?

Or does it make you furious when fruition doesn’t come to?

I take it to heart... who will lead is who I will follow

Whatever feelings that arise, I will be present tomorrow

Up high and proud, the colors of our nation

To protect our own, to defend with no provocation

GOD has blessed this land from sea to sea

Does your definition of Patriot set you free?

About the Creator

Rick Lualemana

I always knew there was something there with my writing but never pursued it because it wasn't cool or tough. After finding my faith in the middle of the pandemic last year, fears and worries are out the door, replaced with confidence.
