FLAGS by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: FLAGS OF EVERY SIZE
Last Line: OR ONLY FROM MY HAND.
Subject(s): FLAGS - UNITED STATES; SUMMER; AMERICAN FLAG;

FLAGS of every size
Float above our land,
The great big one upon the pole
And a small one in my hand.

The large flag speaks for liberty,
But the little one does, too;
And it doesn't matter if large or small
If it's Red and White and Blue.

And it doesn't matter if large or small,
The people will understand;
Whether it waves from the steeple
Or only from my hand.
