Red is for danger the colour of blood. <br />It's there on a battlefield in trenches of mud. <br />A red cross painted on a wagon, <br />for those that are injured and those that have gone. <br />Red is the rose that bloom's in June, <br />a patriotic flower when she's at full bloom. <br />Red is on our flag it binds us together. <br />Will fight for freedom and fail you never. <br /> <br />White is the snow that covers the ridge, <br />and white is the stone, that is built of a bridge. <br />White is the sheet that covers a bed, <br />and one to be laid out on, when you are dead <br />It's Christ own colour, and that makes it pure <br />and a holy colour that we all can endure. <br />White is on our flag it binds us together. <br />We will fight for freedom and fail you never. <br /> <br />Blue is for beauty it surrounds us all. <br />It's the sea and the sky, it's built wall to wall. <br />It'a a colour that a bride may take on her day, <br />it's also the colour that nature does not delay. <br />It is also our heaven, where we all want to be <br />flying our flag in the land of the free. <br />Blue is on our flag it binds us together. <br />We will fight for our freedom and fail you never. <br /> <br /> Our Union Jack<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-red-white-and-blue/
