March Poem Memory - The American's Creed

Hi 5th Grade,
A number of you requested that I post this on the blog.  It's due this Friday.  Enjoy.




The American’s Creed

William Tyler Page


I believe in the United States of America
As a government
Of the people,
By the people,
For the people,
Whose just powers are derived
From the consent of the governed;
A democracy in a Republic;
A sovereign Nation of many sovereign states;
A perfect Union,
One and inseparable;
Established upon those principles
Of freedom, equality, justice and humanity
For which American patriots
Sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
Therefore, I believe it is my duty
To my country to love it,
To support its Constitution,
To obey its laws,
To respect its flag,
And to defend it against all enemies.
