Once Upon a Time Poems

Fireworks for July 4th

Yesterday’s cheering hymn,
In today’s grateful song,
Blessings, laughter, praise, dreams,
With flares to us belong.

Such bitter tears we’ve shed,
The earth appeared bleak,
Yet we restrained our force,
With kindness to the weak.

We the people who strive
For just laws, side by side,
We make peace, avoid war,
In liberty and pride.

Life is sacred, we declared,
For mankind, independence,
Respect for humanity,
Contentment in attendance.

Beams of light our treasure yields,
Majesty in days ahead,
One nation here under God,
Mantle of mercy is spread.

Tomorrow is owned by us,
United we shall stand,
With love and awe, fireworks,
For “We the people” so grand.
