[hometext] => I had been on my way to work, 11/22/02 and seen this battered flag, on the road. Obviously someone lost it off their vehicle. She’s about an 11” x 14” flag.
I seen she still had lots to offer, even though she was dirty. I couldn’t help it; I just wanted to keep her. So I decided to let her colors reign again. [bodytext] => As I was walking in the damp foggy haze I seen you laying on the ground All wet, dirty, loss of your glory blaze I picked you up; off to work I was bound I scrubbed you up, laid you out to dry Keeping you straight, fine and pressed After awhile, I properly folded you, not tie When you got home with me, you were ready to be dressed I found a small banner stick Made sure your facing the right way Hang up those American colors, even though you have some nicks I know they say when you touch the ground, you’re thrown away Not for this American could I let this be You have so much to shine for in this land Now hanging proudly in my little home of American free Just letting the red, white, blue shine thru to my hand Amber Rose Yeager – November 24, 2002 [comments] => 2 [counter] => 298 [topic] => 28 [informant] => Rose [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )
