It’s that time of year again <br />We’re nearing the 4th of July <br />Nothing quite as pretty <br />As sparks against the sky <br /> <br />And that is what it means <br />Freedom it represents for us <br />A day to set aside <br />And to make a lot of fuss <br /> <br />We honor our independence <br />It’s what we have always fought for <br />And even though it’s never easy <br />To keep the enemies from our door <br /> <br />So picnics and bar-b-q’s are planned <br />To celebrate this special day <br />But stop a moment and remember <br />The meaning of the brilliant displays!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/4th-of-july-fireworks/
