One Fine Afternoon

The pink sky is showing,
The wind is blowing,
the flag is dancing with the wind
The photographer started clicking.
I've waited, and waited, and waited...
Finally, the flag opened up and showed   her majesty.
Seeing a flag flying high always reminds me of those unsung heroes who  gave their lives to protect us from enemies.  Thanks to them, we are enjoying the freedom.
