Here's an original poem for kids that I wrote to honor the day. (I wrote three or four of them, so I have several years' worth of celebrations to go!)
Raise the Flag and Let it Wave
by Kelly Ramsdell Fineman
Raise the flag
and let it wave
for all the world
to see!
It symbolizes
courage, honor,
hope and
liberty.
Raise the flag
and let it wave
for all the world
to see!
Be proud of what
the flag stands for.
It stands for
you and me!
I probably won't be reading this one at tomorrow night's reading, but I still hope some of you will come! (See yesterday's post for details!)
