The 4th of July

July 4th 1776 The birth of a nation Decreed by the 56 Thirteen states With their men of wisdom The United States The land of freedom Precedence in place Many presidents will grace Their White House of power This new American race From all corners they came For liberty and land That's made this new nation Oh so grand My last Stanza says To this American place It's in my heart To one day grace " Have a great Independence Day my American Soupers " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/america.php

Nice poem! Happy fourth to you too! Thanks for the encouraging words about my poem that I entered in the contest! It was the first poem that I entered in a contest. I just figured I would try and see what happened.
