In this holy space that is Independence Day
We can pause our pain
And look for compassion
And then for truth
Before we decide upon
Our response.
In this holy space that is Independence Day
We can pray to observe others’ anger
With tenderness
And understanding
Before we choose
Our reaction.
In this holy space that is Independence Day
We can stop and note,
With honest respect,
All ambient sounds and feelings
And then decide for freedom
And hope.
