Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Symbol Sewn

Widowed with children, it was hard,
But I was skilled making ends meet.
As a seamstress, I truly starred,
Though saying so sounds like conceit.
Speaking of stars, I told them that
Five pointed ones would be the best.
As charming as a diplomat,
Other plan suggestions I stressed.
They agreed, and left me to sew
The fabrics into the design
That all the world would one day know,
As symbolizing free and fine.

As Betsy Ross, I made my name
By sewing Stars and Stripes of fame.
