A Matter of Pride

To take you in hand or hold you here where you stand the wind is your guide as I salute you with pride emblem spick and span for I am a yorkshire man together we hoe tall in the fields hence I sow in freedom we grow arm in arm against the foe for you are my flag that soars over moor and crag white rose I love you on a background of sky blue. © Harry J Horsman 2015 The Flag of the county of Yorkshire England
