Patriots = Fath & Courage! Poem by Tom Zart

They choose their opportunities
To become strong, not weak
By pulling up their boot straps
They acquire the dreams they seek.

Their personal goals of well-being
Will never stand in the way
Of doing their public duty
No matter what others may say.

Their devotion shall prove contagious
It's the brilliance of their kind
What you find in most of them
Is great character of mind.

With faith and courage, they must live
For their lives to be complete
With good morals and family life
They'll triumph, even in defeat.

They are raised to participate
Within their community
With their fellow men and women
They enrich life and liberty.

How many moms have cried before
As they sent their children to war?
How many dads have not returned
Because our freedom must be earned?

Good and evil have fought since day one
Long before Earth's weapons of steel.
Humans must choose whom they'll follow
Depending before who they kneel.

Wars were waged where brave souls died
As patriots fought side by side.
Our flag is still the pearl of Earth
Because of those who prove her worth.
