POEM: Haitian Flag Day Poem

By André F. Dossous
Haitian Poet, Playwright, Engineer, Certified Secondary Math Teacher.

In the blue and red
the flag of my Country
I perceive your picture
I see your smiling face
your soul dancing in the wind
when the flag is waving.

When our flag is waving
on the top of its staff
it proudly shows the world
our Ancestor's courage
our strong roots, brothers.

We must stick together
to celebrate this Flag
the image of Liberty
the symbol of our Freedom.

Come to praise our Ancestors
Sing!
Dance!
“Baila” in this “fiesta” of harmony
our National Anthem.

Refrain

Celebrate, celebrate brothers!
Celebrate, celebrate sisters!
Ooooh Friends of Haiti!
Come to celebrate with us
the blue and red
the Flag of courage
the Flag of respect
the Flag of Liberty
the Flag of Freedom
the Flag of Love
that taught every slave on earth
the road for Human's Dignity.
