An Alaskan Family-The Palmatiers

~GO AHEAD-SING THE "ALASKA SONG', WHILE YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE SITE TO LOAD~

Alaska's Flag

Eight Stars of gold on a field of blue-
Alaska's flag, may it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" -and , shining high,
The great North Star with it's steady light,
O'er land and sea- a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
