The sky was dark and pitch black on this night
with the air full of silence as the crowd
waited in patience and joyful delight
to view fireworks from their chairs on the ground.
Then suddenly a boom echoed the sky.
The first firework had gone off with a bang
Bright beams across darkened clouds they did fly.
Trails left to descend while the echo rang.
It is the annual celebration
of our country's birth, the 4th of July,
the date the states became a great nation
and reason of the soldier's battle cry.
For on this day, a document was signed,
the Declaration of Independence,
great men of integrity were the kind
to sign this with faith hope and allegiance.
This Declaration led our men to war.
Many lives were lost but for freedom's sake.
Families and friends caused to split and tore
while loved ones fought a great country to make.
Remember as you watch the colors glow
and marvel at our flag as freedom waves,
how we got here to this place we love so,
the land of the free and the home of the brave.
