July 4th - at Wesley United Methodist Church, Concord, NH

Annually, our church opens its lawn to the community, offering music, pie and ice cream, and one of the best views of Concord's fireworks. I have been able for the last four years to share some of my poetry as part of the celebration. Each year I end up writing more that day as well, as I listen to the patriot music and think about what it means to be an American, especially on the birthday of our country.
