Whom I Have Never Met Before

Today is the Fourth of July 

Tonight there are fireworks in the sky 

But it is with heavy thoughts I ponder 

The choices of those yonder 

Whom I have never met before 

From sea to shining sea 

It is a land where I am free 

To worship my Creator and Lord 

Thanks to the men that died at the sword

Whom I have never met before 

Brave and True they were 

To fight a war on our shore 

And others had an ink filled pen 

They used it as a weapon, these men 

Whom I have never met before 

They risked it all for this land 

So that I might freely stand 

Today we honor them who signed 

That Declaration of our mankind 

Whom I have never met before 

I shall never know those brave souls 

Who risked it all on that thin scroll 

Yet it is them I honor and our country’s birth 

And that Red White and Blue with all it’s worth 

Thanks to those men

         Whom I have never met before 






I wrote this poem in honor of all those who have sacrificed for our nation. Thank you.
Happy 4th of July!
