Crossing the Sound (07/03-04/76)

What a beautiful sight

the stars twinkled bright

by the full moon's light

crossing the sound

on a 4th of July night.



The Ferry skimmed

on the water's pathway

from Connecticut to New York

this one special day.



The sky came alive with

rainbows of colors

as the fireworks

filled the fare

and the booms echoed through

in remembrance of the past

of the "bombs bursting in air"



This spectacular array

I remember to this day

brings to view the message

of the 4th of July

with the words that

sing:

     "Let Freedom Ring."
