Poem-That Fateful Fourth

  
That Fateful Fourth  

Our will was strong, our want was great Let freedom reign, what better fate We journeyed long from Plymouth Rock The time was clear to end all talk That fateful fourth our courage showed Americans - and how we glowed We won the right to be self known Our independence, clearly shown The test of time has stood us tall Through bravest hearts, some forced to fall We’ll always cherish those we’ve lost Their gift to us, their total cost Today we face another foe And stand together, all do know Please often pray to God above He’s seen our hearts, He knows our love  ©2002Roger J.
