The Flag Waves
The U. S. flag waves
as it boldly braves
the elements, like the men
who battled before
in many a war,
for freedom, now and again.
It flies strong and true,
the red, white, and blue—
thirteen stripes and fifty stars.
Stars stand for the states.
Stripes –colonies’ mates.
Divine goal—stars, sunrays—bars.
Red—brave, hardiness
White—pure, innocence
Blue—justice, perseverance
Holding to ideals,
resolution seals,
Americans taking stance.
We pledge to be true
to red, white and blue
and to the people who maintain,
united and free,
letting liberty
and justice for all to reign.
