ACROSS A DARKENED SKY

Fireworks flash
across a darkened sky,
streaking points of brilliance
on here another Fourth of July.
Our flag proudly waving
with honor and pride,
we have so many to thank
for our freedoms on this day,
our voices rising above
the din and the strife
as we celebrate today
our independence,
our nation’s birth.

And with our song
of freedom and pride
go our hopes
and our prayers for peace
for once and for all,
for each one of us
and for generations to come,
that peace may prevail
within the hearts and minds
of everyone and everywhere
as exploding points of brilliance
illuminate the darkness,
and fireworks boldly streak
across this nighttime sky.
