A Symbol
What does the American flag mean to you?
By Skyler SaundersPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

The one and only American flag.
Black stars and blue stripes
And a red field.
Craziness in all types,
Makes the dreamer, in his mind, take shield.
Awakened to find the banner
Flying in the wind,
The dreamer sees the message that the warriors tried to send.
He retains his composure and every manner.
It’s greatness that flies.
Colors run deep and true.
Like an eagle that cries
Once hoisted, pride is then renewed.
Secure this standard like a precious child.
Continue to make it strong.
Never falter or make it meek and mild.
Keep it glorious as the countrymen go along.
Know that it is a symbol,
And that to protect it you must be focused and nimble.
