I am in the mood to write' I remember other fourths Some are sad but there' My dad died ob a July fourth' He had gall bladder surgery Died ib hospital of blood clot we helped my mom to weather his death Other memories are full of laughter We most of the tinme went to town fireworks 'Tustin had such a great one each Fourth They had a Special program first Patriotic songs we all would sing wonderful memories tine t o say early good night Im tired as can be My side aches, my hands re tired minds alert Just a bit after eight suns going down dusk out I want to read and respond for awhle signng off One original poem and graphic by P Hatley copyrighted 2017 '

we used to go to fireworks and parades but we do none of that anymore. Enjoy your reading. I'm still reading Lord of the Flies. I'm about half way through.

@Hatley Abusing a child can have deep roots- he could have been abused when he was a boy. That of course does not excuse the sad behavior.
