Old Glory

pure white stripes represent
the innocence of a nation
and a hope for the future.

fiery red stripes represent
the blood of brothers lost
and a love for a country.

a midnight field is adorned with
fifty glimmering stars,
a shimmering reminder of each proud state.

its simple, yet powerful, design
has the power to bring a tear to your eye
and to bring a country to the brink of war.
