The Things

The Things
I know three things must ever be ,
To keep a nation strong and free ;
One is a hearthstone bright and dear
With busy , happy loved ones near ;
One is ready heart and hand
To love and serve and keep the land ;
One is worn and beaten way
To where the people go to pray .
So long as these are kept alive ,
Nation and people will survive .
God keep them ,always everywhere ,
The hearth, the flag ,the place of prayer .
