The Alaskan Flag

A midnight field adorned with
Eight stars of shimmering gold
Represents the hopes of
A dying breed.

This flag represents
The dreams of a state—
Dreams of a living in a small home town;
Dreams of exploring your frontier spirit.

This flag represents
A deep, abiding love—
Love of a pristine environment;
Love of exploration and freedom.

This flag also represents
A never-ending hope—
Hope for a prosperous future;
Hope for a happy life.

A midnight field adorned with
Eight stars of shimmering gold—
Just another state flag to some;
A symbol of a way of life to others.
