The Red, White and Blue

What does our flag mean to you?
Does it mean just colors - red, white and blue?
Just a piece of cloth that proudly waves
From buildings tall and soldier’s graves?

Or does it mean people like you and me
Who love this land of liberty?
People whose skins may be brown or white
But bravely work for freedom and right?

Can you see in it’s folds mountains and hills
Wide flowing rivers and picturesque hills?
Fields that are golden with ripening grain
And cowboys roaming across the plain?

Cities with skyscrapers stately and tall
And towns and villages large and small?
Farms that supply our tables with food
And orchards and forests that yield fruit and wood?

These are the things in our flag that I see
Symbol of a nation that loves liberty
So to our flag let us pledge to be true
God bless you and keep you, dear Red, White and Blue
