For a young woman 
it means a whole lot, 
Doing things on her own 
without having to explain it on the spot..... 

For a young man  
it means no worries, 
He can be carefree 
without any hurries..... 

For a middle-aged woman 
it would be a dream, 
To be who she wants  
and be able to join any team..... 

For a middle-aged man 
it means so much, 
Eat what he wants 
and touch what he wants to touch..... 

For our elders 
it takes them back, 
To the olden days of yesterday 
where there was no such thing as slack..... 

For all our Veteran's  
Present and Past it is a gift, 
It was them who fought for our country 
It was them who lost their lives and loved ones 
It is for them that our shouts of glory 
and thanks persist..... 

We shall always be thankful and joyous  
for the gift of freedom that 
they fought so hard for, for us..... 
Happy Independence Day
