A Flag Is Flying

From my desk at work I can see, outside there are trees and a flag that is flying for all to see.
Do they understand; will they ever truly know what makes that flag so grand?
It was an ideal placed in the heart of men; of virtue, love, and faith- to lead us to the future and remind us of where we have been.
Red is for hardiness and valor; the blood of men and women who, for a belief, died with bravery.
White is for purity and innocence- the protection of those who wish to be free from tyranny’s vengeance. 
Blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice- Taking a stand for our country and fellow man no matter the cost.
The stars represent the heavens- the splendor and majesty of God, and his love for all mankind- his greatest creation. 
From my desk at work I can see, outside there are trees and a flag that is flying for all the world to see.
