I am the American Flag poem

I stand on top of the tallest buildings

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice

They call me " old glory"

I stand guard with power in th world

Look up you might see me

I am respected and feared

People salute me

I am loved

I am recognized all over the world

I have fought in all battles

I've been all over the world

Everybody knows me,

Asia and Australia, Antartica, Europe and South America

From the north pole to the south pole east through west

I led the troops

I was filthy and tired

But everyon cheered me on

I have been burned, torn

and stepped on

from countries I have set free

this has also happened on the streets of my country

It does not hurt

I am puissant

But I not hold a grudge

I am sronger than I seem

I am ripped up and used as bandages
for the wounded

I am held atop of the dead

and in the arms of the deads family

I am proud
