[bodytext] => The Flag by Helen George The sun is shining, a soft breeze blows, I wave serene 'ore the rooftops below As I'm hoisted aloft, proud and tall, Endearingly loved and treasured by all. Sometimes I am honored to serve as a shroud, Covering the casket of one who died proud, First respectfully folded and gently, then, I'm passed to the grieving widow, his kin. Today, I am part of a glorious parade, Held aloft by a veteran, grandly displayed, I'm as proud to be held by one who fought for this land As I am to be waved from that little boy's hand. I'm representative of a great country's dream, Held in the highest degree of esteem, Whether in sadness or joy I abide, It's always with dignity, always with pride.
