The Soldiers

country as flag
When I look at the flag
and I see the color red,
It reminds me of the Soldiers
and all the blood that they shed.

When I look at the blue
it's like looking at the sky.
Then I think of the Soldiers
and how so many had to die.

When I look at the stars
and I see the color white,
I picture all the young Soldiers
who must have died in the night.

When I look at the flag
I feel a sadness deep inside,
As I think of grieving mothers
who held Old Glory as they cried.

When I look at the flag
it goes beyond red, white, and blue.
I see loving husbands and sons
that gave their lives for me and you.

When I look at the flag
a million thoughts go racing by,
As I thank God for America
and all the Soldiers who had to die.
