Forth of July
Laughter floating on the warm summer breeze.
Hotdogs and hamburgers sizzling on the grill.
Families and friends gather all at their ease.
A nation is born out of sheer will.
Perceived in liberty and in God they trust.
The struggle for freedom was more than a fight.
It was people standing up for what was just.
Under God they stood and fought in His light.
For all the right reasons this nation now stands.
We celebrate it all with fireworks in the sky.
Flying the flag proudly hoping the world understands
that freedom still rings on the Forth of July.
