REMEMBER THE DAY

Remember the day - so many years ago-
Our forefathers yearned with fervor to be free.
Would it forever be just an empty dream?
Would they ever taste the fruits of Liberty?

Remember the day - in Lexington-
That April day when the war began.
The revolution that lasted for six long years,
But secured our freedom and the rights of man.

Remember the day - when they pledged their lives-
To rid themselves of the Imperial bond.
The Declaration was made and was duly signed;
Independence was born when that day dawned.

Remember the day - July the Fourth-
And remember those who have given their lives,
In defense of that which we hold so dear,
Our Freedom that, thankfully, still survives.
