The Flag

Red white and Blue,
what does these colors mean to you?
lets start with Red
the color of bloodshed during a freedom war
independence gain and much more

White it usually means surrender,
something we did not do
allthough it is the color white,
the United States put up a fight
proving that we are strong 
independence is not wrong

Blue, what does this color mean to you?
strength and strive,
what else is keeping our nation alive?
pulling together in tough times
helping eachother out
following your heart 
these are the reasons 
our nation doesn't fall apart
