My prose / poem "A Day....July 4, 1976----Midnight At Valley Forge" is about midnight on July 4, 1976 at Valley Forge when a huge fireworks display ushered in the celebration of our nations bicentennial celebration.

My poem is in my poetry book "The Journey Through My Life".

"A DAY....JULY 4, 1976----MIDNIGHT AT VALLEY FORGE"

 

The historic park at Valley Forge

Was lined with encampments

From every state in the union

At the stroke of midnight

Not only would it be the Fourth

The Bicentennial birthday

But the park at Valley Forge

Would become a national park

At rhe stroke of midnight

the most magnificent

Fireworks show and display of all

Was a spectacular sight

It was with loud booms

That could be heard and felt

For miles and miles around

I couldn't make it there, probably because I didn't know it happened. But I do recall the unique look of my West Virginia license plates than the passport with the special cover that I took with me around the world.
