The American Flag

Red and white stripes...lights up our 
confidence and pride for the early-
aged history of the USA...vibrant and  
graceful with victory 
Enlighten the eager eyes of many 
US citizens - Americans - 
enlightened with appreciation of 
liberty and freedom of speech in 
this cherished country; millions of 
smiles exchange... we embrace the 
meaning of change, which is a 
challenging chore for many
Don't dismiss the American flag, 
swaying courageously with spiralling 
sympathy and serenity

Willpower is portrayed as the stars 
in the dead of night - nightfall 
catches us off guard! 
Honor the incredible symbol; 
introduce us to fantastic flight
I want to be as eloquent as an eagle, 
endorsed in light
Time spent in America is a dream 
come true literally
Elegance reigns upon the country 
into my smile is painted with 
gladness and awesomeness 
combined

And forgive America's bittersweet 
past - its history packaged into 
school books
Never forget the positive side of life
- at least we have freedom and a 
grand future in store - God's 
Kingdom... let's pass this test!
Drive away the fear of missing out 
on a wonderful event

Boldness is shown 100% on this 
most magnificent flag of royalty and 
brilliant... decorated with dignity 
and confidence, meet by men's 
hands... 
Let me catch a glimpse of it every 
dawn and dusk
Ultimately, our future will be as 
warm and playfully benevolent as a 
dolphin... going against the waves of 
descending motion
Extreme mesmeric wonders and 
enhancing jubilance in Miracles will 
bestow upon US amd we'll be as 
nourished as thousands of trees 
after a rainstorm...and as they all 
say, " After a storm there is a 
rainbow"
