Independence Day

"It will be different
Here, this year," 
He softly said.
"There will still be Fireworks -
but they will be seen
by four fewer eyes -
And, this year we
won't see their Smiles
Bursting and Flaring
Late into the Night.


No, They'll be
Far Away,
SomeWhere,
celebrating
Her Independence 
Day decision
Happily
There
in SomeOne
Else's Skies."
