July 4th

 If you’re an American, 4th of July

Conjures fireworks, hot dogs and beer.

The barbecue sizzles and friends gather ‘round

To acknowledge that summer is here.


We rarely remember the battles once fought

To gain independence at last.

The focus is partying on a day off

And not on lives lost in the past.


So let’s light up the grill and toss frisbees and drink 

While American flags we do wave,

But we shouldn’t forget all those patriots who

Made a home for the free and the brave.
