Have a happy and safe Independence Day....
The Flag
By Bud Stuart
What Flag is this?
This flag we see.
This flag that
Stands for Liberty.
A symbol that
Where ‘ere unfurled,
Brings hope to millions
‘Round this world.
It holds three colors.
The first is red.
For all the precious
Blood's been shed.
The other stripes
Of white ensure,
A purity
We pray endures.
The field of blue,
For you and me,
Gives hope that ever
Our skies are free.
And on that field,
Those stars of white,
Will bring us hope
Both day and night.
So lift your eyes
And lift your hearts,
Behold your flag
In all it's parts.
A flag that to us
Freedom sings.
A flag that gives
Our country wings.
To fly into
A future long.
To face that future
Free and strong.
Come join with me
In brave salute,
This flag where
Liberty took root.
