It's the Fourth of July holiday! Ghostly souls of the past gasp and cry, whisper and sigh. They bring tales of sacrifices made by common men and women who lost as much as they gained on more than one occasion. But, inspite of the hardships, they never lost hope.
The road to independence whispers of unfaltering determination and the ultimate sacrifice, death.
Hearts were heavy, minds were troubled but the
spirit of freedom never waned.
Thus. . .
America stands united
with liberty and justice for all.
Whisperings from the Past
What does the past whisper to you?
What turning points
Signify change
in your life
Surprises,
actions
Outcomes of
daily strife?
What call to action
Did you heed
One of
compassion
Time of need?
What iconic figures
Reflect in your
mind’s eye
Ancestors of
grandeur
A painful battle
cry?
What sacrifices
Have you justly
made
To be a leader
Protect a
crusade?
What last dying words
Do you see worth
giving
The reason for
death
The reason for
living?
As you reflect back
On times long
past
What of life’s
connections
“Independence forever.”
