Live Free Or Die

In New Hampshire their state motto is “Live Free or Die,”
And they will be celebrating that freedom this fourth of July.
At Mt. Washington the splendid fireworks will celebrate this nation,
And the band will play patriotic music to a standing ovation.

There will be cookouts, picnics, and ice cream across the land,
And in the “Live Free or Die” state, the party will be grand!
The band will play the “Stars and Stripes,” and the people will cheer…
Thanking God for our independence, and another great year!

David Fisher Date: 7/6/2016 7:57:00 PM Wonderful poem, Brenda! Your poem had me singing and feeling patriotic. Did you play at the top of the mountain by chance? I love climbing it and need to get back soon.
