SNOW-SPECKLED BANNER



'SNOW-SPECKLED BANNER

Yo, can you see it, with the morning's early light,
What so proudly we acclaimed at yesternight's last sight?
Whose royal blue with white letters, through the hazardous snowstorm,
Over the shrubs and trees we watched, were so grandly adorned?
And the snowfall's white glare, the ice pelleting the air,
Showed us overnight that our colors were still there.
Yo, does that royal blue and white banner still wave
Over the Big Blue Nation and the home of the brave?

In memory of brother Joseph Stowers Stone (1952-2013), proud member of Big Blue Nation, and always sitting in reserved seat at half-court.'
