~The American Flag~ (Free Verse) Our nations colors are always seen, First of all for freedom’s cause. Touching us, moving us with every scene, In history never taking a pause Flag that led us through many wars, Glorious stars and stripes taking its toll In the end taking so much more, Shedding heroes’ blood upon a shore With colors bright it’s always there, Symbolic cloth that our hearts adore. With so much pride that we can wear, And display with honor right by the door Glorious flag that makes us unite, Filling us all with so much love. Blessed One from the Mighty above, Unfurled, still flying tall in the wings of a dove. Dorian Petersen Potter aka ladydp2000 copyright@2015 July.4.2015 VERY HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Hope you had a happy fourth of July, Dorian. I am always in awe of the high regard that Americans have for the flag, and on my visits you can't drive more than twenty yards without seeing one. Sadly not the same in the UK, and such a lack of pride comes with a cost, as we are now discovering. great write. Viv x
