Happy 4th

Happy July 4th I say Happy 4th Neighbors say to a stranger Fireworks at north and south shout out Spirits of founders, pioneers Faith, brevity, unity of the Nation A Man covered with tattoos of American flag Turned around to ask a stranger Are you American today? The stranger was silent a second, then said Yes, very much so The man said “me too, my ancestors from Mexico. I am proud to be American” Happy 244th Birthday to my beloved Country The United States of America! “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all” —Chung Hur, Mutual 3
