I want to be remembered
for being an American son
not so much for where I went
for what little I have done
I was born in total freedom
in America, the price had been paid
for me to live in such liberty
someone had stood against enemies, unafraid
there is always a threat against freedom
you have to decide who will rule
one who is wanting the dictator to be
or the one who will quieten the fool
Freedom is a thing to be cherished
it’s sad that some defenders will have to die
but, better to defend and win that freedom
that to lose it and then have to cry
these American sons, of which I am one
have seen history let freedom bells ring
the next time you salute an American flag
remember the reason that you can sing
God bless America, land that I love
the American sons have gone where sent
what we have done, no less could we do
just remember that we went

About Ruby Harris
My name is Ruby Harris. I live near Birmingham, Alabama and I write spiritual lessons from Father God in poetry form. I have to live it to write it. I have been doing this since 1984. I am married and have 4 daughters and 6 grandchildren. Two twenty-one year old grandsons are in the Army together. I have one book published and it was delivered just before my husband had open heart surgery. I have given most of them to Doctors and Nurses and other patients that we come across in our “health adventures”. Two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and God has healed me. A year ago He gave me a photo that is so life changing that you have to see it to believe it. Every poem I share I gets the same reaction. Did you write this just for me? It’s amazing from an amazing God.
