I PLEDGE
It’s his day
teacher picked him
scared nervous proud
he stands before the class
right hand over his heart
he starts
I pledge allegiance to the flag
In unison friends join in
of the United States Of America
So young he barely understands
emotions swell -- a tear starts
tiny drops of pride
and to the republic
for which it stands
as friends look on
tears trickle
one nation indivisible under God
his words barely audible
with liberty and justice for all
as he returns to his seat
his sleeve wipes
across his face
