4th of July

Hanging out with friends and family with drinks by the pool. Grilling burgers and eating homemade ice cream... trying to stay cool.

Yards decorated with flags and everyone wearing red, white and blue. Cities with activities planned, people choosing what to do.

Dark sky filled with loud sounds and light. Fireworks booming with colors so bright.

A fun time to celebrate but let's not forget why. Let's remember our history on this 4th of July.

We will gather together with much to do and see. Let's be proud Americans and be thankful we are FREE!

Let my soul be awakened and my mind be clear. Help me to be still and quiet so that I might hear.

Let my eyes be opened to see the glory you bring. Fill me with your spirit and let my heart sing.

Monsters, clowns and ghosts made of sheets. Spooky music, haunted houses and a whole lot of treats.

Families and friends together late on a school night. All for a good time of thrills and fright.
