# Under the Flag

Patriotic Poems | 0 |

The draping, it is perfect
No wrinkles will you see
A symbol of a nation
A reminder that we’re free

Most prefer it flying
Free to wave and blow
Not sitting on a mantel
Without the stripes to show

This is the end of service
For it and one you love
A subtle juxtaposition
Of which is up above

For each flag sitting folded
For all the world to see
A soldier’s spirit is soaring
Oer a nation that is free

Under the Flag is a poem about the different things that can be under the flag. It can be a country, or it can be someone who has given their life in service.

## Inspirational Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

## Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
