I love to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July! Seeing the movements of the bright lights is always a lot of fun, especially since I'm normally relaxing with family members while watching a fireworks show. The lights, sounds, and activities happening on the Fourth of July also remind me about our connections to our history.
"The Lights of Freedom on Independence Day" is one of the narrative poems in Holidays Amaze. This poem is a lot of fun to read on Independence Day. There are connections between us and our history, as well as some interesting narrative content. For example, a scammer wakes up a dreamer who is sleeping. The dreamer is obviously upset. The poem ends in a very positive way. Here are the last two lines of this poem:
our collaborative efforts can enhance
our lives with the lighted rays of freedom's stance
