Timely Fragments
Old Jambu tree
Still bearing fruits;
Generous delights
~~~~~~~~~
NDP crowd
Massive tapestry;
Community celebration

Each passing year
Affirms our country;

~~~~~~~~~
Fireworks display
After The Pledge;
Poignant philosophy
~~~~~~~~~
Politics means action
Mere words concede;
Happy results...
