TRUE COLORS


Truely, you can all but see, what's
Rarely shown to all by We
Upholding firmly, banner proud
Entangled not by wrappings, shroud


Colors, red, white, navy blue
Often weaving words thought true
Losses great, though flying more
Our many colors, shore to shore
Reminding all that we are free
Standing with true colors, three.

Very good use for the acrostic.  Good message.

I like your incorporation of the title, twice!

A well expressed and creative acrostic!
