Independence Day is here again
The celebration will start soon
Many homes have decorated
With red white and blue balloons
There will be hometown parades
Family picnics and such
Thoughts and prayers for our soldiers
Add that special touch
As rockets burst with bright color
With a loud explosive sound
Be thankful it's only fireworks
Falling slowly to the ground
When you hear "God Bless America"
As the high school band goes by
Pause a moment and be proud
Old Glory is waving high
Remember all our brave soldiers
Defending all our rights
To enjoy our country's freedom
On this special July night
Author notes
Let us pray and give thanks this day for those past and present who fought and served this country to keep freedom ringing from coast to coast. Happy Independence day to you.
God Bless You, God Bless our Troops and God Bless America.

Liberty Tree
by Thomas Paine
IN a chariot of light from the regions of day,
The Goddess of Liberty came;
Ten thousand celestials directed the way,
And hither conducted the dame.
A fair budding branch from the gardens above,
Where millions with millions agree,
She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love,
And the plant she named Liberty Tree.
The celestial exotic struck deep in the ground,
Like a native it flourished and bore;
The fame of its fruit drew the nations around,
To seek out this peaceable shore.
Unmindful of names or distinctions they came,
For freemen like brothers agree;
With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued,
And their temple was Liberty Tree.
Beneath this fair tree, like the patriarchs of old,
Their bread in contentment they ate
Unvexed with the troubles of silver and gold,
The cares of the grand and the great.
With timber and tar they Old England supplied,
And supported her power on the sea;
Her battles they fought, without getting a groat,
For the honor of Liberty Tree.
But hear, O ye swains, 'tis a tale most profane,
How all the tyrannical powers,
Kings, Commons and Lords, are uniting amain,
To cut down this guardian of ours;
From the east to the west blow the trumpet to arms,
Through the land let the sound of it flee,
Let the far and the near, all unite with a cheer,
In defence of our Liberty Tree.
