Red,
White, & Blue
By David W. Shamo
July 3, 2014
Fathers past and sons of old,
Fought the good fight,
Running up hill,
Weapon at the ready.
Tears told a story,
As bursts of light flew overhead,
One comes home with the colors cover,
Music fades as taps start to play,
Fallen soldier ma, pops, or child of
mine.
Envisioned the day,
On that windless night,
Time slows down,
With friends in sight.
One so young has risked it all,
Finding courage amongst this endless dawn.
Love is true like the Red White and Blue,
When a friend gives his,
So another may live.
Flags will fly,
To tell their story,
For those who fight,
For the Red White and Blue.
