I am the Flag
by Howard Schnauber
My name is Old Glory,
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings,
I stand watch in America's halls of justice,
I fly majestically over institutions of learning,
I stand guard with power in the world,
Look up and see me,
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice,
I stand for Freedom,
I am Confident,
I am Arrogant,
I AM PROUD!
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
my colors a little truer,
I bow TO NO ONE!
I am recognized all over the world,
I am saluted,
I am loved - I am revered,
I am respected - and I am feared,
