This photo inspired the poem. I saw a bug colored red, white & blue, and hope you do too!
Red White and Blue
Can an itsy bitsy bug be patriotic?
His red, white, and blue symbolic,
A political view
Understand freedom . . . be equal too
Like a school age kindergartener
Raise his hand to hold the flag
Chosen, glad with honor
Knows to say a prayer
Can an itsy bitsy bug be patriotic?
Puff his chest, recite the pledge
Listen to a voice within
Battle for the helpless, or let the bullies win!
Stand side by side with those who care
Silently and stare
Misty eyed while taps is played for those who dare
Think America is beautiful
Can an itsy bitsy bug be patriotic?
. . . . just saying
