The Soldiers
When I look at the flag
and I see the color red;
It reminds me of the soldiers
and all the blood that they shed.
When I look at the blue
it's like looking at the sky.
Then I think of the soldiers
and how so many had to die.
When I look at the stars
and I see the color white;
I picture all the young soldiers
who must have died in the night.
When I look at the flag
I feel a sadness deep inside;
As I think of grieving mothers
who held Old Glory as they cried.
When I look at the flag
It goes beyond red, white, and blue!
I see loving husbands and sons
that gave their lives for me and you!
When I look at the flag
a million thoughts go racing by;
As I thank God for America
and all the soldiers who had to die.
