although our grand country is beset with problems many of our own making I can look at the Statue of Liberty and chills traverse my spine although we have people many of them hooded looking for ways to take us down when I see a man or woman dressed in military uniforms I feel a glad within my heart on the TV politicians rant and rave sickening to the core but it is their right to do so freedom of speech don’t ya know this is a short poem but couldn’t let this day go by without honoring it however minute no matter what things plague us we are still strong Patriotism is still alive and well in the hearts of true Americans we may falter but we will never fall I salute this day and feel a lump within my throat ©July 4, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Sometimes when we focus too much on those that disagree with us we can get discouraged and need to listen to the agreeable...james |
