number twenty eight- red white & blue

19 6 1
                                    

i stood tall

& strong

musket in my hands

i fought hard

and stayed on

as the cold days rolled by

even as the soldiers numbers

dwindled before my eyes

i lost friends,

comrades 

family, sure

but i still stood straight with pride...

'till i lost myself too.

that was the price i paid

for the red white & blue
