Across the Waters by Valerie Alston

ACROSS THE WATERS

The beauty within-- gave her a sense of value as she attracted all eyes of a nation so rare and bountiful as ours. She spoke elegantly to others as they embraced her smile that extended an invitation to all who glanced her way. Her colors of red so brilliant of fire that glow over the sea shore, stood for a woman who let everybody know she was in charge. The blue that represented how cool the waters can be, and she too could be calm and collected under the pressure of waters brought on by the rush of the sea. As peaceful as she so desired, she knew exactly how to put out the fire. The white that shined perfectly was pure awareness of her clean heart. And she was always ready to share her kindness to those who were willing to receive. It was and still is an outstanding event, a celebration for all to share. The blessing of a nation when the sparks that flare so true, hold evident that this a nation for all to enjoy when freedom rings. And who so ever discovered this land of ours, whom ever it may be, left us with a land of prosperity. For the red, white and blue represented a greatness to behold, and there is food for all to eat. And let the light shine upon us, let us not live with selfishness and greed. This land is plentiful with enough for all to feast, give thanks across the waters and far from the seas that we in this land of opportunity, as it may be, to this day forward, we call it Independence Day and the Lady Of Honor is America indeed.~
