Poem written by
Becky Rodenburg,
for a school essay ...
"What Old Glory Means to me"
One flag of three colors,
For all kinds of faces,
A banner of glory,
For all different races.
Laughing under the flag,
On a bright sunny day,
But a tear rolls down
For the soldiers who pay.
Daring young soldiers
Who gave up their lives,
Who gave us our freedom,
Missing families and wives.
Giving us choices,
To live and be free,
Giving us safety,
To let me be me.
Laws for the people,
All over the land,
When someone needs help,
We all lend a hand
Opportunities for me,
For a good education,
Allows for some choices,
Within our great nation
Respect for the colors,
Of Red, White and Blue,
During all of our wars,
Every one of them flew.
Years have gone by,
And we've lived to be free,
All of the people,
With you and with me.
