Independence Day - Poem
poem for 4th of July
on this independence day,
we remember the years past.
we honor this very day
for our flag, old glory, has last.
on this independence day,
two centuries ago, we
declared our independence
for justice and liberty.
on this independence day,
a war began with writing;
John Hancock signed the paper,
and war began with fighting.
on this independence day,
seven years from the former,
the war was almost over
then England was defeated.
on this independence day,
not too long ago, children
from all around came to say
“pledge allegence to this day.”
as years went by old glory blew.
our flag had last and still flew.
on this idependence day,
old glory will last and sway.
