This is my symbolism poem…It was for school…

In the 1700s thirteen stars stood
Symbolizing freedom and victory
Bloodshed arose
With grief and agony followed
But in the midst of all this
Few believed
Today, fifty stars stand
In beauty, power, and greatness
While some ridicule the dead
In half-mast you stand
Armed forces feel proud fighting for you
To us you are more than just cloth
To us you are our country
Without you, our flag,
We would be at a loss.
