Stripes

I see white, I see blue

I smile big when I see you.

You fly high on a pole,

With red stripes reminding our souls

Some died, some survived

I guess we’ll never know,

Until we fight for our lives.

But prayers to all

I don’t know about you,

But I want to fight too

For my country and for yours too.
