Holidays

With fireworks exploding

In the darkness, of night

Giving a rise to adrenalin

As I viewed,the awesome sight



Brought to mind,the reason

This day. . . .Was so special and grand

Passing through, many a weary season

Our Nation, not wavering, does stand


Many years ago. . . . In 1776

"Independence Day" got its start

The United States, a various mix

Becoming one, with pride in each heart


Wars have been fought to protect

America, the Home of the brave. . . .

Our flag waving, proud and erect

Many sacrificed, entering an early grave


The eagle . . . Signifying strength

A strong bond, in our Nation

Standing together, at any length

Give rise and cause, for celebration


On this day, with "War" at hand

Prayer’s and hopes, are for our men

Bravely fighting, guarding our land

Displaying courage, again and again


So, as we plan for this special day

With picnics’ and party’s everywhere

Remember our Soldier’s, who are away

Let’s honor them and show we care . . .


As the bright lights, explode above

And stirred excitement, fills the air

Let’s utter a special prayer of love

For our men at war. . . . Way over there


And as the lights fizzle in the sky

With smoke, as far as you can see

Remember the reason . . . for this day

It’s so we can live a life that is "Free"


During this great celebration . . .

Some will laugh, some will cry

Yet, we are all filled with elation

This Independence Day . . .you're wished

A "Happy 4th. Of July!"
