Today is the 4th of July – I am grateful to be an American.
I was looking through some papers and found some of my writings from years ago. I was in a severe clinical depression with anxiety disorder and I somehow got creative and wrote …. a lot. I am planning to share some of my writings during that time on this blog. Today I wanted to share what I wrote on July 4, 2003
Fireworks
It’s the 4th of July
Fireworks light the sky
Families sit together and stare
At all the sparkle in the air
They ooh and ahh at the sight
Of all the things they see tonight
I like the sights, I like the sounds
I sit and watch from the ground
I imagine as I look up high
What it might be like to die
I think about those who have gone before
I often wonder if there is more
Up to the heavens I pray
I hope those above can hear what I say
As I watch the night sky light
I look inside and hold on tight
Today is America’s day
Thank you all who had to pay
