Flag Night
February 12, 2009
The boom and the wows
The fireworks rumble
The flag sways softly
And it does not crumble
The colors in the air
All through the night
The stars twinkle softly
They stand alone bright
The wars that they travel
Their bare feet in gravel
They get stronger and stronger
And then they are there longer
We pray for him
And we pray for her
And when we look back on them
Some things in our mind occur
A twinkle of a star
A trigger held tight
These are the things we think about
On flag night.
