Independence Day In America Poem by Joan Harrell

Its the Fourth of July, Independence Day!
Some plan parties and picnics and all kinds of play.
With Barbecues, hot dogs and lemonades galore
And get- togethers with parades, red, white and blue flags adore.
Most people are off this day and have a little bit of fun.
They run to the beach and sand and music and run.
I do not plan anything myself but to see my kids and grandkids.
There are places to go to see fireworks, gee wiz!
Imagine years ago when they first celebrated this day.
Wow! Think about it. Most didn't have computers to write or say.
