Old Glory

Seeing the colors of red and blue And never forgetting the white This flag is standing high and true And shows the world why we fight Allowing no country to bring us down Or enslave us all in fear It turns all tears into frowns And freedom rings in all ears When in battle, the enemy sees Waving stars and stripes We fought on land and on sea And showed those dogs our might After every victory Our flag still tall and proud We bow our heads quietly And pray for those in the clouds.

I wrote this while serving in the US Navy, watching the flag atop the ship inspired me to write this.
