Poem of a Patriot

I am a Patriot
Not the red-white-blue-fourth-of-july kind,
But a believer
In country
and
In community
I don’t have a loud voice
But (like Sarah said) I’ve got life force
So I start small, filling my home
With babies and dogs,
With security, happiness, and beauty
Then, I’ll blend that recipe in you, my town
Starting with the young people
and asking them to care.
