Independent Dream by Dan Higgins

In the face of oppression, an idea was born
Never again to tyranny, we’d be sworn
Determined to create a place free of scorn
Every Fourth of July, a new hope is reborn
Pursuing happiness, no longer forlorn
Each firework fired, a salute to the morn’
Nation of dreamers, by independence adorned
Dreaming of a future, by freedom’s hand drawn
Enjoying the fruits of a struggle hard-won
New dawn of liberty, under the sun
Together we stand, united as one

Please accept my endless gratitude,
I'm tickled pink,
You're a gift!
Thank you for your time and attention.
It's a blessing you've stopped to observe and listen.
