Child of many flags

Child of many flags
The wind blows,
it's a flag waver kind of day!
All the children will go out to play.
The sky is blue
and on this day even a few clouds flew.
One child stood out amongst the rest 
waving a homemade flag high above his chest.
"This is international day "the other say aloud.
but the one child stood still and still proud,
We wave the flags of our father's" they chided, 
some even got a little excited.
But the one child still stood with his flag of multi colors and hues.
He can hear them hiss even a few boos.
I don't know where I'm from
but I know am here
so il stand in place if you don't mind that I do,
because I'm from the human race just like you.
My mother is a decedent of kings and queens.
My father who came from farther lands and seas,
 where he said he grew up climbing rocks and trees.
My grandpa a strong and wise old man
 said there may be a little bit of Genghis Khan.
grandma who is great with a stitch 
Put this flag together without a hitch.
she said it's made from all the flags in the world
and it looks like a rainbow once unfurled.
So this is the place where I will stand.
To represent all of man.
