A weekend of freedom
of independence
loud noises
fill the night
fireworks stands
are now visible
a feeling of unity
among community
everywhere I go
fresh fruit
sunshine
and laughter
this is July 4th
a long weekend
time to reflect
to eat
to barbecue
to write
to walk
to visit
and remember
what this weekend
is really all about
it’s about
our freedom
Freedom
One nation
under God
indivisible
with liberty and justice
for all
God Bless

Hey beautiful…love your writing style!
Especially the “barbecue” part…
Thanks Greg – you are my biggest fan
Can’t wait for my home-made potato salad and grilled salmon tonight
Happy 4th of July, Cindy. Have a blessed weekend.
Happy 4th to you too JoJo!!
Today is our “4th of July”. It’s Canada Day. I don’t feel like driving in traffic or trying to move around a huge crowd, so I’m just staying home and relaxing. I should get off the computer and do some knitting…lol.
Happy Canada Day to you Shelley!!
Have a good weekend, Cindy!
You too Dustin
