Fourth of July

Freedom of choice
Or think without hindrance
Under one flag of glory and pride
Red, white, and blue which we honor and serve
That stands for
Hope and justice for all

One Nation under God
Firmly holding our values

Justice and perseverance
Upon dreams of beliefs and values
Living in this country of ours
Yielding equality

This poem is an unabashed declaration by the author that this is her land, and, ( in her eyes), the best place on earth to be. Well done! Emile.
