July Fourth

by Ken Dawe
(Burwell, NE, USA)

on this 4th of July
may we fly our flag proud and high
and may we always be true
to that good old red, white, and blue
and may the bells of liberty ring
as the STAR SPANGLED BANNER we sing
and as fireworks light up the night sky
may we remember why
so many brave men had to fight and die
and thankful we must be
because freedom is not free
and as long as the Statue of Liberty stands
proud and tall
may there be liberty and justice for all
