Patriotic poems are found in our national anthem, pledging allegiance to the flag, and many of our most popular patriotic songs are all poetic. We show appreciation of services our men and women in protecting our freedoms and honor of our country. Poems on nationalism preserve our history and on a personal basis we also save the memory of loved ones that served our country through patriotism. One’s love for their country conjures emotions of loyalty and pride for one’s country. There are lost love poems, family poems, and many other narrative works about country, national affairs, and war that are shared with others of their country’s heritage and glorify the nation’s accomplishments. In preserving and keeping the memories of loved ones that served in the military for one’s homeland, one reflects over their work to preserve one’s pride for their country in patriotic poems.

FIRST KNOWING That second day of kindergarten, I ditched while Miss Clemens bent at the sink, helping Peter Farley wash the paint off his hands. I scurried across the wide green fields that led to the road where our row of white townhouses awaited me. I wanted no more days without my mother placed in the center of every hour. I wanted her voice, the scent of the perfume she dabbed on her writst each morning before we watched my father walk away. We stood at her dresser while she released the stopper from a crystal bottle so blue it rivalled sunlight staining the ocean surface. I wanted to travel with her from supermarked to bank, dry cleaners to drugstore, wherever the days life took her. As if sensing some hunger to come, I craved her with a fierceness that made me run, as if knowing I would soon lose her to a sadness vaster than any of these fields I could cover with the pace of my own feet. - ANDREA POTOS Quote of the Day
