America is red, white, and blue, <br />the colors that stand so brave, and true. <br />Men in battle facing death, <br />Men in the world provoking crime, and theft. <br />America stand up on your feet, <br />Hold proudly out the flag, tenderly, and sweet. <br />America is home of the true, <br />Of people at peace like me, and you. <br />Red is for the blood in battle we do shed, white is for the peace we all share, <br />But sometimes we seldom even care. <br />Blue is for the sky where our fathers have gone, and stayed, <br />Watching us as we fight for peace both night, and day.<br /><br />Velmar Pewee Hale Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/america-is/
