         Celebrate

 A high pitched whistle,

and then a boom
a synchronized chorus
“oooh”, “ahhh”,
wonder, childlike glee
Oh, say can you see
the living kalediscopic colors
ever changing, sparkling
shapes of whimsy
stripes and stars
every mouth ajar
hearts  proud.

On the shore dimly seen

thro' the mists of the deep,
as pyrotechnics sweep
across the evening sky
I recall with each boom
those who gave
those who give
and the Pow'r
that hath made,
preserv'd us a nation
Pray may it ever be
the land of the free

 

*Lines from “The Star Spangled Banner”
  Oh, say can you see
  stripes and stars
  On the shore dimly seen
  thro' the mists of the deep,
  and the Pow'r
  that hath made,
  preserv'd us a nation!
  the land of the free
