*~ The Flag ~* *A flash of color beneath the sky* *along the street there comes* *daddy, daddy hold me high* *a blare of bugles, the sound of drums* *hats off* *the flag is passing by* *Blue and crimson and white it waves* *the colors before us fly proud* *tears on the cheeks of old veterans* *God Bless America plays loud* *hats off* *the flag is passing by* *Veterans young and old* *march with pride* *eyes on old glory* *for who so many died* *hats off* *the flag is passing by* *Trumpets blare* *bands march in time* *from children�s hands firecrackers fly* *hearts beat with pride* *hats off* *the flag is passing by* *How many tears will fall* *let the heart have its say* *freedom is not free* *more is passing by today* *explosions in the sky* *hats off* *the flag is passing by* *� 2005* *Carole Mathys*

Ah, me. Yes, thank you for this. The respect for Old Glory is slowly, but surely dwindling in America, along with many, many other things that are good.

A Beutiful and such a Heartfelt poem. You really captured the parade and the True Americans and the way they Honor and Respect the Flag and know it's importance! Hats off to the Flag and all who've served Proudly and Bravely for each flag of this country!
This poem has the every beauty and respect patriotism and thankfulness that America used to have. and should still have! Why it's lost and not there I'll never understand. Laziness or selfishness, I guess huh?

hats off to you Carole for this outstanding tribute. I hope all read this and get the Spirit of America and the Flag again!
