LONG MAY SHE WAVE
 
Red, white, blue
She's a grand old flag
Honor her
Respect her
Be vigilant to save her
From those who start fires

Sousa's march
Fireworks light the night
Picnic time
Fill your plate
Barbecue and apple pie
Somewhere...there is war

Stars and stripes
Swaying in the breeze
We revere
We salute
We miss those who've died for her
And long may she wave

Written for William's Show Your Pride challenge
And for the Form Over Substance challenge
