Our Independence Poem by Marilyn Lott

Celebrating our Independence
Is a day we all look forward to
13 colonies were all there were
But so much there was to do

Brave and courageous men
Broke off from the mother land
But taxation was a problem
And they had to make a stand

They fought and were determined
And to them we give our thanks
For they were our forefathers
Definitely in the ‘higher’ ranks

Fireworks, food and music
Is one fun way we celebrate
God Bless America is played
As we fill our picnic plate

So while we enjoy our day
Let’s think about the guys
Who fought hard for our freedom
They are ‘heroes’ in my eyes!
