Liberty is Celebrated 2009.07.04


Sweet cooled air
Warm kettle corn and cotton candy
Kids dancing to Donna Summer
With glow sticks and giggles
Syrupy BBQ and lemonade
Liberty is celebrated

A near full moon
Incandescent over the mountain sky
Children play tag
And lick shaved ice
In the town park
Liberty is celebrated

Sticky and laughing
They squeal with excitement
Laying back onto blankets
Waiting for the show to begin
An explosion of color and light
To the tune of
God Bless America
Liberty is celebrated
