My FIL gave this pin to my daughter. It's a perfect timing too as the school is celebrating Catholic School Week and the theme for today is showing patriotism. Students are required to wear Red, White, and Blue, so Ms. Burrito wore the above mentioned color and pinned this on her top. Thanks for those who served and continue to serve.
A flag pin "with heart"! Bright! Bold! Brave!
ReplyDeleteSEEING RED
Tonight, my dear, I’m seeing red—
Or is it puce or rose?
Whatever’s going round my head
Is tingling all my toes.
My heart, my dear, becomes inflamed
With passion sore ablaze;
Perhaps it is because I miss
Your glowing, crimson gaze.
Whate’er the cause, my face is flushed
Like a ripened cherry,
No longer healthy, but inflamed—
See the vessels serry*?
A certain sanguine aftertaste
Is clinging to my tongue,
For I have kissed your ruby lips—
To which the claret clung.
*serry – (archaic) to crowd closely together
