To Call This Home
By-Amanda D. Petty

Whenever I think of my flag,
I think of real freedom.
Free to dream,
Free to talk about religion anytime,
Free to do anything.

Whenever I think about the war,
I think about the families;
Not knowing if they will see them.
Soldiers are fighting for my freedom;
Battling for the rights.

Whenever I think of my country,
I see God’s hands.
His powerful hands are with us.
He won’t let us be alone.

Whenever I think about my flag,
I see love, The Lord’s love.
The forefathers and everyone before me,
Sacrifice their lives for this land,
And I’m truly blessed to call this home.

Remember, Eric and I are taking two weeks off: June 29th to July 13th.

More Than Poetry: We take “Pretty Petty Poetry” very, very seriously. Some people think poetry is very “old fashioned”, boring, and not that interesting. We can understand. To us, poetry is the true heart of a person.
Amanda describes it as: lyrics without any music. Because of my speech, I can’t talk fast or normal; discovering poetry has really opened me up.

Pretty Pets: We want your feedback on “Pretty Petty Poetry”. We want to know on how we can improve on this business. We’re very open on your comments.
