My Girl

By LoLeta Totton



Many think their girls are better than the rest but I look at my girl and I know she’s the best.

I’m in love with her, so judge me if you may.  I’m in love with her and I love her every day.

I love her and I don’t care who knows.  I love her and I hope that feeling grows.

My heart aches because I know that she’s been hurt.  My heart aches because she’s been drug through the dirt.

Many love her; her beauty is beyond compare but she’s my girl and I’ll fight for her, I swear.

Some embrace her with tears rolling down their face.  Many would fight to the death for her, with no debate.

To me she is pure and I wouldn’t change her.  She is courageous in the face of danger.

She watches over everyone whether you love her or not.  She has respect for all, that can’t be bought.

I love her, she can make this woman cry.  I love her, she flies proudly in the sky.

The stars in the sky remind me of her.  She is up there and never to be deterred.

She represents the land of the free and she’s the only girl for me.

You see, my girl is what some call Old Glory, but to me she is the U.S. flag and we’ve got a story.
