LOVE FROM A PATRIOTIC POINT OF VIEW

Red

Is the color

Of the blessing of love

Bestowed on us

From above

White

Is the color

Of purity

Of untainted feelings

New to me

And your near-to-heart

True to me

Blue

Is the color

Of me when

I'm not with you

And the vast ocean

That lies between us

But we somehow manage to swim through
