~ An American Tribute ~

In celebration of our independence
of a free country . . .
We enjoy barbecues, picnics with friends
and family gatherings
A day of remembrance and to proudly sing
“God Bless America!”
A time to recall all who gave their lives
so we may have a free nation
God Bless our troops all around the world
who have chosen to serve and protect
Our heritage is made up of all peoples
of the world
We celebrate our differences and cultures
Allowing freedom of speech
Then when dusk falls we watch the fireworks,
and remember the rockets red glare
Proud to be American!
Proud to be free
