July 4th Resolutions

Independence of thought,
Independence from mind,
The strength to leave others
Opinions behind.

Independence from past,
Bitterness and grudge,
I need grace to forgive,
Accept and not judge.

Indepedence of movement,
And freedom to roam,
The gumption to leave
The comfort of home.

Independence that comes
With a confident smile,
A posture to envy,
A forthright style.
Independence from slant,
A voice with some reach,
Courage to leverage my
Freedom of speech.
Independence to worship
The god that I choose,
and the diligence to show
Daily gratitude.
I will work hard to realize
These things that I vow.
(Why wait til the New Year
It's Independence Day now.)
