MY PLEDGE
I... not you, not we, not they, but I
PLEDGE...I do personally, solemnly vow
ALLEGIANCE...my loyalty, my fidelity
TO THE FLAG...blood-bought freedom, brave at heart
OF THE UNITED STATES...our identity inside-out
OF AMERICA...our identity outside-in
AND TO THE REPUBLIC...constitutional right
FOR WHICH IT STANDS...impartial in judgment
ONE NATION...says it all
UNDER GOD...faith in America's heritage & future
INDIVISIBLE...uncommon devotion, together, whole
WITH LIBERTY...springs from the heart
AND JUSTICE...is that which keeps liberty pure
FOR ALL...for the innocence, the old men who hold their
medals, the old women who wipe the tears of the young who
go off to war, for the sick and weak as well as the strong,
for the uncertain and the courageous.
