She's Blowing In the Wind

My alegence is pledged to one who blows in the wind We are blessed to be in the Republic for which it stands One nation, under God always, as our flag blows in the wind I have this treasured piece, folded and neatly tucked away I must keep it secure, assuring that it never goes astray Since I have owned it, never has it seen the light of day Perhaps someday, I shall set it free to blow in the wind I'd love to see it flap its wings, but I don't know when This prized possession of mine has thirteen stripes Seven stripes are clothed in the hardiness of red Six of the stripes are beautifully arrayed in purity white I must secure a flag pole and watch it blow in the wind I am the grateful and the proud holder of my 48 state flag May God wrap us all in the blue color of vigilance, perseverance, and justice. 08192017FBTGPSContest, Blowing In The Wind, Nicola Byrne, 4P
