Red, White and Blue

A flag can be all colors
All patterns and sizes too.
So what is the importance
Of colors red white and blue?

Red stripes stand for courage and
For sacrifice people made,
Showing the bloodshed in war
Maybe from a single blade.

White represents our peace
And kindness shown throughout
America, the beautiful.
It’s great without a doubt.

Blue shows the freedom which was
Fought for all the way through.
I'm proud of American
Colors Red, white, and blue.
