As Americans we live in a free country. There is no other nation on earth that has life any better. But we must remind ourselves every year, to celebrate this great country we live in. The United States of America has gone through the ups and downs of creating such a successful nation. But through it all, it always manages to rise above the clouds, just like the bald eagle who carries that symbol on its wings.
Last year I published a poem in the Denver Weekly called “Fourth of July.” I decided I’d make it this year’s post, because the message is still clear “That the Fourth of July is not just another holiday.” Happy Fourth of July! Just look for the poem under the “Poems/Published Poems” tab.
