To A Flag Burner

(To A Flag Burner)

written by: Paul P. Stefanowicz.........

I am made out of cloth colored red, white and

blue;

And I have a story I want to tell you.

I've been carried to battle by men brave and proud;

I've been carried in parades to be seen by a crowd.

I was carried by men dressed in khaki and blue;

They served and they fought to save the likes of you.

It is sad but in war men have to die;

and over those graves, I will always fly.

I fly over graves of heroes laid to rest;

Who served their country well and they did not protest.

When their country called to takeup the arms;

They came from the cities - they came from the farms.

You live in a free country let us not forget;

Give thanks for America....Give thanks to a vet.

To those who want to burn me, I have this to say...Just think of the graves that are far far away.

Some still may want to burn me it's sad but true;

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

This is the end - the end of my story;

I'm still your flag....Also known as "Old Glory".

So Honor and Respect Me and Serve Me Well;

But, if you can't do that, then go straight to Hell!
