Small coastal bird
scurrying in the sand
catching small snacks
that people throw on the land
The waves crush on the sand
bringing in treasures
shells, snails, and jellyfish
bringing the coastal bird pleasure
We snack at the beach
on this grand holiday
enjoying time together
splashing water as we play
God gave us freedom
on Independence Day
families and friends
we celebrate along the way
Happy weekend to all
thanking God for his grace
fireworks in the sky
shooting at a fast pace
