Triumphant Flag

They left long ago
Now it’s free green land all through
Bangladesh its name

It’s victory month
December derives each year
To celebrate us

Red heart in the green
Flying on peak point of pride
Carrying valor

We salute and pray
For liberation martyrs
Live long their earning

Live long the green earth
Humankind and global peace
Let us make one world

Mahtab, this is a great poem. I chose to read this one because my state, Mississippi, just adopted a new flag--one that I love! Janice

I am going to have to look up your flag now "Red heart in the green" intrigued me.
