Blue, White and Red

Blue skies 

a summer day 

Parade marching down Main Street 
Flags flutter in the breeze 

Red stripes and white 

Blood on a battlefield.
White sand 

a foreign beach 

Artillery blasts in twilight sky
Fireworks 

Stars fall

Red sky take warning 
Silver stars

Purple cross 

No one knows how high the cost 
Bruise of blue 

Stripes of red 

The Spirit of Independence 
Freedom, strength 

and morning glory 

Sons and daughters upon the land  
Lady Liberty 

Freedom’s Lass

Rockets red glare on midnight blue!
