The Fourth of July with red, white and blue,
Is here to enjoy for me and for you.
With food and friends and fireworks we,
Have a big celebration in our locality.
To a tyrannical king they would not submit,
To a tea tax they said, “This is it.”
The tea then flavored Boston Bay,
With principled men it could not stay.
The cry was raised from street to street,
Watchmen passed the word as they walked their beat.
Liberty and Independence whispered about,
Hope stirred in hearts began to burst out.
The document drawn, radical and new,
Proclaiming men equal by Someone, but who?
It declared a Creator who created all things,
Endowing to men a part of His Being.
God given rights and freedoms which must,
Be preserved at all cost that we may live in good trust.
It declared the liberty of the colonies,
From tyranny and tyrants they were now said free.
A war was fought to preserve that declaration,
A war was won to cement their inclination.
Today we think back on the wonderful way,
They proclaimed our freedom on Independence Day.

Wow, that is a really great poem, excellent job Erik. I was going to post an entry for the 4th, but I didn’t get around to it. Maybe later.
RYC: *Types in Honda Civic* Hmm, wow, yeah that is a cool car! I want one!
Yep, I’ve heard of Way of the Master. I have their book, great resource!
God Bless,
