I wrote this poem years ago for a children's holiday program book at Standard Publishing. I thought you might enjoy its simple message. Have a super Independence Day!
Grand Celebration
By Susan Sundwall
High waves the flag
Over people and nation
A red, white and blue
Grand celebration
Remembering the freedom
Hard fought for and won
By the valiant and brave
For each daughter and son
Sweet Liberty’s song
Rang joyous and clear
Defying oppressor
And beating back fear
Deep in the battle
From hillside to sea
They kept close to God
So we could be free
With each step you take
On the soil of our nation
Recall what it took
To secure it’s creation
Go—send up your rockets
And midst the red glare
Pray God that our freedom
Will always be there
