A little something to say thank you and wish everyone a very Safe and Happy July 4th.......
Beloved land........
The time is here, the time is now,
to rejoice in prayer for our beloved land.
Birthing an idea, not time to recompense,
a place of freedom, no lines in the sand.
An unheard of ideology many dared to wonder,
if this great land would ever be set free.
Loyalists prospered, enjoyed life as it was,
then there were others with new ideas
you see.
Being looked down upon for traveling so far,
tired of taxes growing larger each day.
Private meetings were held in a tavern nearby, a chosen few were anointed to find
a new way.
In the dead of night through
the Palace Green,
many Patriots quietly scurried about.
Beware of Loyalists, who might speak
your plans,
those in the Governor's Palace stood tall
and stout.
Lexington and Concord the most
notable battle,
where it all began are marked statues at best.
Colonial Williamsburg should be on your list,
next to Washington D.C., it is better
than the rest.
A quaint working village taking you back,
to a place in time, costumed people, you meet.
The past comes alive right before your eyes,
Fife and Drum, Merchants, on shore a fleet.
Rich with history, illuminating our past,
a place for the young and the young at heart.
Enjoy your barbeques, parties and yes,
fireworks,
remember for it to remain we must
all do our part.
Patriotic, honoring our downed men from the wars. I like this holiday and my 3rd daugher was born on it, so that makes it extra special too. She was a little firecracker. Picnics are nice to have but many of us cannot get everyone together to have a large family one, but I still love picnics and go on whenever I can.
A wonderful write, filled with great historical reminders and moments in history. A beautiful tribute! I agree we must all do our part, seems today that many have lost or were never taught to appreciate our beloved land! Very uplifting and well expressed! Enjoyed! Happy 4th to you too my friend!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Here we call July the 4th thanks giving day.
Been in yankdoodleland twice on July 4th, and lived to tell the tale.
Hope yawl start using the freedom wisely again.. Or Taxman Cometh..
Karen,
You've brought back my memories of Williamsburg. Remember the church with each separate pew delegated by stature for those who attended; the tavern where waiters learned to mind their "p's and q's," and of course, the inn where those wonderful gingerbread cookie smells greet you before seeing the line.
Very fine of you once more - The feeling needed in honoring all of it -Should stay with us - Even when a bad fuse doesn't ignite an explosive colorful delight - {Thanks-Ted}
Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
