Very nice. I really enjoyed reading this poem. The poem was full of truth with great rhymes that wasn't forced; and great rhythmic flow. Loved the art work that you chose for this writing. God bless America.

a wonderful tribute to all of those who fought and died. Our country doesn't always seem so free but compared to many others...well I'll live here.

The meter could use some tweaking. I might change a word or two to a usage I feel better with like SO it is said, but this goes to the prompt with admirable sentiment, so, excellent.

Comment from Dean Kuch
"Their recognition well deserve..." Well deserve what, pray tell, Brett? Admiration? Respect, humility? This reads rather awkwardly. Perhaps "deserved" would be a better choice here...
You may wish to look at this stanza as well. The meter's a bit off...
White's forthe purity of those who are right
led by dignity, honor,and God's light.
Fifty states is all she be.
A beacon for the whole world to see.
Consider;
White's for purity for those who are right,
led by dignity, honor -- God's giving light.
Fifty states, forever She'll be,
A beacon, She shines, for the whole world to see.
Of course, these are just my humble opinions and suggestions. You're free to drop them into the nearest cyber space waste bin as you head out the door...
All in all, I appreciate the message of patriotism and spirit of freedom you're attempting to convey here, especially with Memorial Day fast approaching. I just know you can do much better, I've seen you do it.
Good poem, just needs a bit of "tweaking, is all."
Good luck with it, Brett, and have a Happy Holiday! :)

It's what we're here for, my friend. This would have easily been worthy of a six save for those things I mentioned. I'm sure you'll garner many accolades for this one, and justifiably so.
Good luck, Brett... ~Dean ;)

Proud to read a tribute fair
That blesses this land we share
For the beauty of the country
Lies in the heart of the people here
Some are not so fortunate to see
The blessings of the land of the free
Still they are proud to have found
The ability of speaking so very load
They shout against the liberties
Sometimes disgrace the banner of the free
Still we let them have their voice
Because we know the truth inside
Each one that lives within this land
Has the freedom from the few hallowed lads
That given their all for them to be free
That is why we thank the brave soldiers today

These lines say it all for me. I love our country, love the freedom bought with lives and blood and sacrifice, with intelligence and prayer.
Excellent poem.
This land of opportunity has its flaws tis true
but her colors will always be red, white, and blue.
While her freedom may not be so free
there's no other place I'd rather be.

Your words capture well the reasons to cherish America.
Good explanation for the colors. Love the incorporation of lines from our national anthem. Interesting stanza on the Statue of Liberty. Why is she weak?

Not saying the Statue of Liberty is weak. What I am saying those who come to this country are in need of our help. Thanks for your comments.
