Dazzling bursts of color, Light up the darkened sky, A fitting celebration and Tribute to the Fourth of July. Representative of the lyrics, "the bombs bursting in air", We remember our fight for freedom, With energetic flair. In the past our ancestors fought, With fierce determination. By God's will we prevailed, And became a strong and mighty nation. Today we are fighting still, To keep our freedoms alive, And fight we must against corruption, If our nation is to survive. So raise Old Glory, let her fly! Take pride in the Red, White and Blue. Celebrate freedom across our land, To God and country be true!

Of course, your flag and mine are each, red white and blue… and appropriately, I think your words resonate in my homeland as much as yours. Great write, Kim. Terry

We have to win over and over, the fight for Freedom. Ronald Reagan said in one of his speeches words like - we are always only one generation away from losing our freedom. Loved your poem for 4 th of July, SuZ
