How true that we have much to be ashamed of as a nation. As we celebrate, we need to take a close look at what our country really stands for today. Nice rhymes.4th is spelled fourth~Debbie

Blessings to you on this poem today. Just go back in and fix the Fourth spelling. I admired this much today and yes it also reminded me of our military out there fighting for our Red White and Blue. Great job poet

A poignant, no nonsense poem beautifully including the glory and the agony of our reality. This is definitely a day to remember and to appreciate what we have in this land of freedom and to look compassionately at the sacrifices that made and make it all possible. Happy Fourth to you and keep on writing those poems that touch the heart and have healing power for both reader and writer. Liilian

Today is the Forth of July - Fourth
Good use of rhyming couplets in this tribute to those who have worked for our freedom, be they soldiers in harm's way or those behind the scenes who provide support for those soldiers. A fitting poem for the Fourth :-) Brooke
