My Everlasting Fourth

A glance, a blush, a simple spark Like tiny fountains, a glow in the dark A whisper soft, the moment serene A hopeful flicker, it felt like a dream. Then, on a summer's night, a booming sound, Red, white, and blue burst all around. Each firey boom, almost sparking tears As clarity washed over, erasing all fears For among that blaze, so grand and bright, My heart declared with all its might. The firework shows fade and cease, But you, your love, bring everlasting peace. No bursting shell, no glittering rain, Compares to how you set my soul aflame. This quiet burn, a steady art The endless fireworks in my heart.
