Her colors flying proud and straight up high
So like some banner stretched across the sky
Within the fields of stars marching around
Intent upon one purpose to surround,
Display broad stripes of white and red so bold
Their legend in each battle will be told
Instilling courage with pure lack of fear
While in the corner of one’s eye, a tear
Soon gathers gently on the summer winds,
Its now the need for greater strength begins!
