July 4th

If you’re an American, 4th of July Conjures fireworks, hot dogs and beer. The barbecue sizzles and friends gather ‘round To acknowledge that summer is here. We rarely remember the battles once fought To gain independence at last. The focus is partying on a day off And not on lives lost in the past. So let’s light up the grill and toss frisbees and drink While American flags we do wave, But we shouldn’t forget all those patriots who Made a home for the free and the brave.
