Happy Fourth You All

In case you didn't know We celebrate today - the day of Independence "the day that the Lord hath made" the day that America's sons and daughters had fought a war and won the day that we are no longer under British's control or is it England? the day that we became a nation the day that we declared "all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, and among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" (Declaration of Independence July 4th, 1776) the day that we sing a National Anthem and know that yes we have come far and still has more to go the day that our sons and daughters are still fighting a war - a war to maintain life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness They are now in foreign lands maintaining the peace so that we can enjoy our peace here at home the day that no one should say "I have it" and forget that it belongs to the Creator - a day that we no longer have as we give it all to the Lord God, help us to celebrate this day and never forget that in you we have our celebrations In you we have our moments of triumph In you that we have peace joy, and whatever that comes with it In you that the men and women of America has not fought in vain In you that we finally see the light that unless You made it all would be for naught Yeah God You made it so we can enjoy it Yeah with barbecues and all the trimmings with friends and family milling all around with Hobo and Scarlet at your side Yeah this is the day where I stuff myself and go on a diet tomorrow Yeah this is the day :)
