The wedding day came and went
like the Fourth of July
fireworks

Bride and groom explode—intimate
like the Fourth of July
fireworks

Man and wife light up the night sky
like the Fourth of July
fireworks

Two kids later and we still fly
like the Fourth of July
fireworks

      1. All right! Done. The repeating lines came to me as I was falling asleep last night and thankfully I remembered them in the morning! It won’t publish for a long while but there will be a pingback though.

        Thanks for the inspiration.
