Old Glory
Old Glory waves and ripples in the wind.
She shines translucent in the bright sun rays.
She snaps her fifty stars and thirteen stripes,
and bravely boasts freedom all her days.
The red reminds us of the blood that poured
from soldiers veins for our dear liberty.
The blue for justice and perseverance.
The white for innocence and purity.
Stars symbolize the heavens and divine,
eternal goals that humankind aspire.
Beside the colonies, the stripes are like
light emanating from the sun, afire.
Its shadowy folds dancing merrily
from its pole, clearly seen in pale blue sky,
for equality and justice for all
so sends its message to the passers by.
