Sowing Patriotism
What independence means to me~
It’s flying the red, white and blue
For me and for you
It’s lemonade stands
And helping hands
And opportunities to fill pockets
It’s baseball diamonds
And rock climbin’
It’s the Olympic torch
And enjoying the front porch
Its community parades
And playing charades
Its sandy beaches
And our nation’s vast reaches
Its magnificent mountain peaks
And having clean air we seek
It’s voicing our unique opinions
And livin’ in our free
dominion
It’s Mount Rushmore
And driving a Ford
It’s believing in God
And feeling Awed
It’s a land of patriots
And vets defending evil threats.
It’s honor and responsibility
And having humility
Happy Fourth of July, Everyone!
