The Red, White, and Blue

The red, white, and blue
Billowing in the cold winter’s wind
Across the Delaware
A sign of determination

The red, white, and blue   
Hoisted up from the ruble
Atop Mt.Suribachi
The battle had been won

The red, white, and blue
Planted forever
In the moon’s rocky surface
Victory has been reached

The red, white, and blue
Rising from the ashes
At ground zero
Strong and undefeated

The red, white, and blue
Will rise from the
Battles not yet won
Forever and always
