Bio: Lange, F. Wm. – Poet Cornered – Our Flag
Source: Scrap book one: by Elsa Lange Hardrath & Dorthaleen Edwards Hardrath Contributed by Halbert “Bud” Hardrath Page 4 The Poet Cornered Our Flag The Emblem of a great nation and state, with the kind of people that makes this nation great; Offers haven and home for those that love it, No other nation shall fly theirs above it. The symbol of a nation where God is King, Where you may worship, pray and sing; With a free mind of your own inclinations, Not by coercion or another’s dictation. The banner of a nation where love thy neighbor is heard, Be he Russion, Irish, Spaniard or Kurd. There are many far over the sea, Who covet the opportunity just to be free. A symbol of a nation, may it be the last to wave, Over the homes of the fathers and sons who gave; For the future of kin and other loved ones, And the others that are destined to come. In repetition again I will say, There is none other on Earth like the American way; Offers haven and home for those that love it, For no other nation shall fly theirs above it. --F. Wm. Lange, Member, Local 19806
