Anapest Pentameter

The red, white and blue, so proud and beautiful
gracing the sky,
is flag we love and cherish worth greater, far greater than gold.
God grant o'er our beloved young nation flag will fly,
in defense of land's freedom, its citizens awesomely bold.
All the rights of the people is principal we do uphold.
Now at night, parks send colorful rockets up into dark space,
with sounds they rush fast forward exploding in sky with their lace.
