The National Flag

To those who believe they have god on their side
The flag of the Nation a symbol of patriotic pride
But pride in national flags is a thing that is Worldwide
And so many because of this in wars have died
Loved and admired by generations of patriots across decades of time
The flag of the Nation inspires song, story and rhyme
Of it's beauty and of what it symbolizes the patriots may brag
But they carry their loyalty in the colors of a flag
National flags similar to the one i see on a flag post today
Were carried by young soldiers in wars far away
Because of their love of the flag many of them died young
They did not live on to hear their praises sung
The flag that is carried in many a street parade
Because of it many war heroes are made.
