                                     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 kindergartner
Raise his hand to hold the flag
Chosen, glad about honor
Knows to say a prayer

Can an itsy bitsy bug be patriotic?
Puff his chest, recite the pledge
Listen to the voice within
Battle for the helpless, not let the bullies win!

Stand side by side with those who care
Silently and stare
Misty eyed while taps are played for those who dare
Think America is beautiful

Can an itsy bitsy bug be patriotic?

. . . . just saying
