Home Is Where My Flag Is

My flag means I am home Home with my Hiraeth. (Longing) being hugged away Home where the grass grows greener Home where I lay my head to rest My flag shows up so brightly as it flutters in the wind The bottom half for the green grass of home The top half, white for the purity of our minds The ddraig goch. (Red dragon) resplendent in the centre Showing the world, we might be small but we are here. Wherever the flag flies. Whether it's at a rugby match, A band concert, a choir singing, tears fill our eyes An emotional race, with the arts in our veins Be sure to put on your todo list, before your 60 Breathe in the heavenly emotions This land of song will still be singing, when you come home again to Wales. Flag of Wales UK Penned 16 July 2015
