The American Flag 
The American Flag
The American Flag, is red,white and blue
To you, I salute, this is what I do.

The American Flag, you stand so free
To you, I salute, with love from me.

The American Flag, nicknamed Old Glory
To you, I salute, a flag with a story.

The American Flag, you changed over the years
To you, I salute, with a song and music to our ears.

The American Flag, we display you with pride
To you, I salute, your true colors we do not hide.

The American Flag, what can I say
To you, I salute, each and everyday.

The American Flag, raised by a rope
To you, I salute, you give us hope.
This poem came to me one day in pieces. Then I finally pasted it together to get this,
God Bless America.

Re: The American Flag 

i David  I have been reading your poetry and appreciate you are proud of your country but dont forget other men are proud of their country and their flag too.Thats why they are prepared to fight in what they see as a just cause.

Re: The American Flag 

Thanks for reading my poems. This poem isn't about picking a certain flag over another one. Every man or woman has their own flag. They should be proud of the colors thats on their flag. I am proud to be American. Just like many others are proud to be Russian,Chinese,Japanese,Mexican etc. 

I didn't forget about the other men in other countries. I can't write poems for all of the other men and their countries. This poem is for us who love the American Flag. I judge no one for admiring their own flag and I should not be judged myself.  I can't change who I am.

David
