The 4th of July

July 4th 1776
The birth of a nation
Decreed by the 56

Thirteen states
With their men of wisdom
The United States
The land of freedom

Precedence in place
Many presidents will grace
Their White House of power
This new American race

From all corners they came
For liberty and land
That's made this new nation
Oh so grand

My last Stanza says
To this American place
It's in my heart
To one day grace

 
" Have a great Independence Day my American Soupers "

Nice poem! Happy fourth to you too! Thanks for the encouraging words about my poem that I entered in the contest! It was the first poem that I entered in a contest. I just figured I would try and see what happened.
