In honor of Flag Day:

She Flies

She’s tattered from her battle scars

She’s shattered from her broken hearts

But it don’t matter, she hangs on and does her part

She flies

She’s been kicked and she’s been bruised

She’s been picked at and she’s been used

But her skin is thick through and through

And she flies

She flies for glory and she flies with grace

She flies for every single human race

Against the sun or throughout the night

She flies

She’s been endeared and exalted

She’s been revered and she’s been faulted

But she is a beacon for one and all

And she flies

Yesterday was hard and today seems harder

but she’ll keep on til tomorrow

And she flies Carmen M Bennett 07/04/19
