Independence Day

Independence Day is special to me For it commemorates my liberty I'm grateful to live in the land of the free The best place on this earth to be. We call our land America Home of the brave and the free We stand for peace and justice And the right for everyone to be. written July 1, 2021

Thank you, Caren. It's the most important line in the poem, as far as I'm concerned.

Just a little patriotic ditty while I was sitting in the Veteran's Administration Medical Center waiting room today. Thanks for your comment, gw. I didn't have time today to write anything really serious.
