INDEPENDENCE DAY

On this day when we celebrate our independence as a nation
To be more specific it falls every year on the Fourth of July
If you are not familiar with our country’s history
The following verses will explain the reason why

There were thirteen original colonies
Which were ruled by England’s king
He needed more funds to support his shrinking war chest
So he decided to see how much taxing them would bring

The colonists were Godly people and
Believed that what he did was wrong
They fought back to keep their dignity for they knew
That with God on their side that they would be strong

Many battles were fought in the Revolutionary War
Some of them were lost but the most important one
Was on the day that General Cornwallace was defeated
By the continental army’s General George Washington

The leaders of the continental congress formed a constitution
Giving credit to God which set forth its principle foundation
This principle still exists to this very day
And is the backbone of our great nation

It gives us the unalienable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Equality for all the right to speak freely and the privilege to openly pray
All of these and much more as prescribed by the letter of the law
Which states that you must also be in this country legally to stay

So let us never forget that this National Holiday on which we are given a day off
That is celebrated with memorial ceremonies parades fireworks and a Barbeque
Took place because of the Grace of God and the sacrifice of these brave souls
And has enabled each of us to perpetuate the values of the red white and blue


God Bless the United States of America
