Today's the Day
By Cinara
Today’s the Day Today’s the day my stripes unfurl And beam my stars around the world For all to see the meaning of A common brotherhood of love Today’s the day my colors wave O’er schoolhouse yard and soldiers grave Along the streets of freedom’s town On courthouse dome and White House crown Today’s the day to honor names Of those who served on ships and planes And those who met the battle call But would not ever let me fall A soldier’s pride in stars of white In folds of red a soldier’s plight In wind of glory flying free They share a common dignity Salute the red, the white, the blue I was defended just for you Salute the one who served with grace Within my folds you’ll see his face Today we all bestow esteem On those who suffered for the dream And in the shadows of their trust We honor them who honored us Written February 13th, 2002 © on Feb 13 2002 08:16 AM PST 0 • 10
