Question

I want a short english poem on patriotism for my nine year old daughter?

Answer 1

American Flags



American flags,

the right to destroy is yours;

as is your freedom

______________________________________...

Freedom

Its foundation built on sacrifice

maintained by the strength of belief

wounded by  separatism

healed by patriotism

destroyed by disunion

______________________________________...



It Is You

A symbol of respect, pride, and strength,

not to be ruffled, wadded, or soiled,

to be folded, unfurled, raised for all to see,

as in going into battle resounding victory.

Not to be tattered, torn, or burned in effigy,

rather a symbol of hope to those in bondage,

of hate for those who seek to enslave,

of patriotism to those who guard fiercely,

enshrined with those who died for liberty,

entrusted to each generation to decide its fate,

to be the most loved or most hated,

to be seen in every city, state, and on foreign soil,

wherever seen America is found.

No other symbol rises above or would be allowed,

representing freedom, recognized the world round,

a powerful adversary to an enemy

a gentle giant to those who are represented.

A symbol of red and white,

with fifty shining stars on a field of blue,

call it a flag,

in reality it is you.

Heat

It is hot! The air above me suffocates, lacking breeze.

This July eve, the heat affects me most.

Tomorrow, I will end one affiliation and begin anew.

The future causes my brow to arch, the heat adding to my discomfort.

This house, my home is large and strong, but may not survive the coming storm.

All before me, I must be willing to cede as a consequence of this nights decisions.

I feel the heat began to crescendo into a fire storm.

I envision myself appearing at the very gates of h**l.

I finish my dress and put on my coat realizing, soon, this will be my home no longer.

I will be branded a traitor in my native country, a patriot in my new.

As I sit in the Congress, I am alone if not for Jefferson and my Congressional Secretary. The document prepared by Jefferson beckons my signature. I am overcome with emotion as I, John Hancock, President of the Congress, slowly, in large bold script, sign The Declaration of Independence.

As I return to my home, I realize this heat will not go away for a long time.

I return to say goodbye.

Answer 2

what is it that makes you sleep

my country,wake thou up

long ago,freedom did peep

still art thou,sick and weak?

great are thy men,moveon

why is it you fight and moan?

onward go,thy task is great

men before thee the path have laid

rise up from your sleep

move on with hope and joy

into the worldwith zeal

lend a hand to lift the poor

and why not wipe someone's tears?

why to fight for petty things

look around,the country is your's

why will you not riseup

above the fights and jelousthoughts

moveon,with thoughts of peace

great is thy soil,pollute it not

great are thy men,unity is strength
