Our Flag

I was watching the flag from the dining room, whip mightily, back and forth in the wind. The grand snap it made amongst the busy noises of the world.

I watched for a short while, how the wind carried it, how it rolled and moved, sometimes, so slow, at brief moments, a dead stop.....

and then, as in its perfect timing, as if only a short rest, it carries on, waving powerfully, deliberate and strong....

amongst a gorgeous blue sky, under an old oak tree, it waves so very, very free.

How I love our flag

and the America it stands for!
