Symbols of Freedom. <br />Engraved stories will <br />never be erased. <br />Stories of History. <br />The history of Revolution. <br />The history of war. <br />The history of soldiers' blood, <br />shed for freedom. <br />The history of each individual's dream. <br />The history of America. <br />One stands tall in the sunlight, <br />on a flagpole near the school. <br />Still, the stories are there. <br />Still, the Freedom rings. <br />One stands alone, <br />in the corner of <br />a classroom. <br />Still, the stories are there. <br />Still, the Freedom rings. <br /> <br />(April 2009)<br /><br />Melissa Wagner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-american-flag-2/
