Under Our Flag
The sun rises on a proud flag raised high:
With stripes of red and white,
and a field of stars on blue.
Under its watch, we go about our lives
Laughing and playing.
Enjoying all the freedoms it symbolizes.
Under its bold waving,
A child looks up...and steps up,
A fire-lit purpose in their heart
To fight and defend those freedoms.
For their family...and ours.
They fight with all they have:
For us, for their country,
They put everything on the line.
Until under a draped flag,
They come home.
The sun rises on a proud flag
Dancing in the late spring sky
And we remember them all,
Brave soldiers.
We honor all they gave.
-Alison West, 2025
