UNITED WE STAND

Statement

I proudly hail from Texas, and my roots run deep in the Lone Star State. Texas is not just a place I'm from; it's an integral part of who I am. While I acknowledge and respect the beauty of other states, my knowledge and connection are deeply grounded in the vast and diverse landscapes, history, and culture of Texas. It's not about minimizing other states; it's about celebrating my Texan identity and the wealth of experiences I've gained within the borders of this great state.

America

In the heart of Texas, my story begins,

Where pride in its heritage steadily spins.

Born and raised 'neath the Lone Star's glow,

Its spirit within me continues to grow.

But beyond these lands where my roots lay,

Other states unveil their grand display.

Journeys reveal breathtaking sights to behold,

A tapestry of wonders, each story told.

From coastlines vast to mountains high,

Captivating vistas beneath the sky.

Beautiful landscapes and cultures unite,

Beauty beyond Texas, a stunning sight.

Diversity's symphony, a nation's song,

In each state's allure, I belong.

Proud Texan still, my heart's decree,

Yet, marveling at America's tapestry...

Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

United We Stand

"In reverence to the flag, our nation's crest,

United we stand, a republic blessed.

One nation, under God's guiding light,

Indivisible, our strength takes flight.

With liberty's grace and justice's call,

For every soul, equality for all.

In allegiance sworn, our hearts enthrall,

To America's ideals, we stand tall."

As One

In unity lies our strength, a truth so stark,

For in division's wake, we stumble, we hark.

United as one, the USA shall stand tall,

Divided, we falter, we weaken, we fall.

Three words bear weight, a message clear and bright,

In unity, America finds its might.

Let not division sow discord's seed,

But together, as one, may our nation succeed.

Let's weave our differences into a unified thread,

For a nation divided is where troubles spread.

Divisions weaken and fracture our might,

Together we soar in unity's light.
