This poem is to celebrate Independence day in the United States of America. In every celebration of Freedom day, there will be a long line of parade in the streets, with a marching band of drums and bugles. People from every state will gather to witness the colorful parade. There will also be a lively and energetic performances and production numbers. Every family in their own houses will prepare lots of tasty and delicious dishes including a well roasted turkey paired with wine. Independence day is a glorious and happy day to each one in the United States, thankful for the liberty bestowed upon them.
