A Tribute To The 4th Of July (or Paula attempts poetry)

A Tribute to the 4th of July

By P. Pasterski

On a day in Midsummer
When shadows grow long,
And the purple Vetch covers the hill;
When the Chickory blooms by the roadside,
And Queen Anne’s Lace fills the fields,
My senses are filled
With the sights and the sounds
And the joy of the 4th of July.
A pretty front porch hung with bunting,
American flags flying high.

We’ll go down to the park,
And wait until dark.
On a big comfy blanket we’ll lie,
Watching rockets red glare,
And bombs bursting in air,
On a lawn underneath spacious skies.

So let freedom ring
From the mountains and plains,
Let the light shine from Liberty’s hand.
Join hearts with our sister’s and brothers
And thank the Good Lord for this land.

Hope you all have a great holiday! God Bless America.
